Calls for acceptance, regardless of gender and sexuality, are worthy of merit.
Indeed, for Singapore to be robust and inclusive, we need to include other views regarding matters of sexuality, including those on LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) issues.

Liberty League is a volunteer organisation that promotes gender and sexual wellness. We believe it is vital to uphold the family and preserve the integrity of marriage between one man and one woman in a lifelong, monogamous union.
Events showing solidarity, promoting understanding, raising awareness and eliminating discrimination in matters of human sexuality are laudable. But while making comments or participating in such events, let us do that which will always build up and not tear down.
