New guard (Aware) ousted
According to The Straits Times:
Many said they had been moved by the tumultuous events since March 28, when a team of new members seized nine of the 12 positions on the exco.
New president Claire Nazar quit 11 days later, to be succeeded by Ms Lau. It then emerged that several of the new leaders attended the Anglican Church of Our Saviour, and were strongly against homosexuality.
Then, Dr Thio revealed that she had encouraged the women to join and change Aware because she felt it was promoting lesbianism and homosexuality. In particular, she attacked an Aware sexuality programme for schools, saying it too promoted homosexuality. She called herself a ‘feminist mentor’.
- I caught a nice quote in the comments section of the article “religious fervent can twist mind and logic and it can divide a nation” and how true it is.
Sometimes we must live and let live and not control everyone according to personal faith and accept this strong fabric of multicultural, multiracial, multi religion and multi races country and their beauty of diversity.
We should be united as one and do not divide as we cannot afford to be weaken by such incidents, consider this case closed.
