Agree and I am sure most will agree as well. I don't think that is the issue. The issue is whether the LGBT movement in Singapore are asking more than their fair share when compared to other minorities and certain segments of society. Are they taking advantage of the swinging pendulum of political correctness.
Personally I don't think Singapore as a society had discriminated them in any form or shape. We tend to be tolerant. No doubt there will be issues with parental acceptance and isolated incidents of discrimination.
We have long gone pass the state about Gays being part of society. The civil service has never discriminated on this and nothing on the books on this since Independence. Only the Penal code and it refers to an act of sexual conduct. Nobody was ever turfed out of the civil service for this. GCT's statement referred to sensitive posts. This however is still on a case by case basis.

society norms are subjective and change with time. slavery was the norm 100s years of ago, but no more. suffragettes were the pariahs of the 19th century as they fought for the right of women to vote. prohibition in the USA in the 19th century saw the outright ban of alcohol.
it is a matter of time before gays are more widely accepted in society.
