This is my third blog post concerning the AWARE saga. I am greatly disturbed, not by what had happened in the past few days, but rather by the subtle way that AWARE has been hijacked by what is commonly known as the GLBT ( Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender ) movement. Top on the list of course, is the Comprehensive Sexuality Education taught to school kids. I wonder what else is there that we have not uncovered. We will never know since the control is back to the old guard.
For those who wants to sign the petition to get MOE to review the CSE programme can do so here.
In the name of "Inclusiveness", GLBT movement has been gaining ground in many christian churches/denominations worldwide. We have the Anglican crisis that has caused the split of the episcopal church of US with its brethren worldwide. The Methodists has its own struggle from within. Now, the secular state of America has begun to legalise same sex marriages in some states. I dare not think what will happen to Singapore when Article 377A of the Penal code is successfully repealed.
Aware MUST get its act together and should go back to its original objectives of championing the rights of women. The noble thing to do is to seek a conciliatory path between the 2 camps as I believe that there are many women out there of the new blood that can contribute significantly to its causes.....unless of course...the old guard think that they are right all along..
