Everyone knows by now that after a question asked by Loretta Chen, whom we interviewed a few episodes ago for the play 251, Minister Mentor Lee Kwan Yew has a lot to say about his views on homosexuality.

en20070423_1_1_pic2.jpgIn this episode, we try to dissect what he said by exploring the contradictions, what it means for us, and how you can play a part.

On another note, a recent “alert” was posted on a mailing list called “Catholic Lawyers”. It was calling the mailing list subscribers to file feedbacks to the government to criminalise homosexuality, clearly based on their Catholic religious beliefs, and screams fundamentalism as its motive was completely drawn according to their unique interpretation of biblical values.

They can file their homophobic feedbacks all they want, and so can we. Information on that after the jump.

    Just wanted to drop a line and say HOWDY! from California Pennsylvania. I recently began listening to your podcast and find it quite enjoyable and informative.

    Keep up the good work!

    Good podcast -
    I think we have every right to discriminate against ‘these people,’ because they’re bigots, and their entire platform is founded on a kind of irrational, poorly-informed fear (lobby? what lobby?).
    It’s the people with something coherent and critical (in a positive sense) to say whom we should respect, not mere idiots.
