SINGAPORE - The Workers' Party will not call for the repeal of a law that criminalises sex between men because there is no consensus within its leadership committee on the matter, said party chief Pritam Singh.
Mr Singh made these remarks at the National University of Singapore's Political Association Forum on Wednesday , and posted his speech on his Facebook page on Friday. Meanwhile, some in the liberal, pro-LGBT side might have"unwittingly weaponised the concept of love for many of those in the middle, particularly those who do not take a position on the matter."
He added that society must also consider how to better support homosexual friends who are coming out and might face prejudice and depression:"In the final reckoning, I would suggest that our definition of family, a wider Singapore family, should be an enlightened and inclusive one.""Electoral support for the WP based on Section 377A does not enter into our decisions to field specific candidates.
