Our LGBT Friends Deserve Equality

I’m glad and relieved! During the National Day Rally on 21st August 2022, Singapore’s Prime Minister announced that the government will repeal Section 377A! Homosexuality has been a long-standing issue, and this historic news is a huge win for the LGBTQ+ community.

There was an argument that LGBT people are anti-family. This is too distressing andthese are some of my thoughts:

• LGBT people come from families just like heterosexuals.
• LGBT people want, need and deserve love from their families just like heterosexuals.
• LGBT people do express love for and do support their families just like heterosexuals.
• Some LGBT people can and do stay in committed relationships and marriages just like heterosexuals.
• Some LGBT people can and do want to have children just like heterosexuals.
• Some LGBT people might choose to use birth surrogates just like heterosexuals.
• Some LGBT people might choose to adopt children just like heterosexuals.
• Some LGBT people can and do make good parents just like heterosexuals.

Above all else, LGBT people are people. Their sexual orientation or gender identity neither makes them any less than heterosexuals nor dangerous and they shouldn’t be made…
