Indigo Gloves Against A Shining Sky

Hello blog readers, how has your week been?

For me, its been a slow and steady week, with Chinese New Year gone, my examinations are around the corner with the first paper this coming Wednesday.

Just this morning, I read in the Straits Times about Pastor Rony Tan's remarks about gays and lesbians which angered the online community in Singapore with many demanding for a public apology and Pastor Rony Tan refusing to apologise, standing by his beliefs.

Lets look at both sides of the coin, shall we?

On one hand, we have the online community who are angered by Pastor Rony Tan's remarks which are in nature, very demeaning to gays in particular as he states that "many but not all gays molest young children in turn creating more gays." The argument is that not many gays molest young children (in my own opinion, even straight men molest young children be they boys or girls).

On the other hand, Pastor Rony Tan is standing by his beliefs and is non-apologetic about his remarks. He insisted that he has nothing against the LGBT community but only their lifestyles.

How about the context of the video?
I believe that Pastor Rony Tan was interviewing a former lesbian and that was where his remarks came in.
Did he say those words out of a flurry or did he wanted to get a message across to people?

I believe that those who sided with him share the same beliefs as him in that they do not condone the gay or lesbian lifestyle but they love the person while on the other hand, those who saw his remarks as being a message to people that he is putting down gays/lesbians were angered.

Hence, its up to the individual to decide how he/she views and concludes this matter.

Lets talk about other matters.

I am very thankful and grateful to God for His confirmation yet again of His promise/s. Just yesterday when I was having a consultation with my psychiatrist, I mentioned to him about the outbreak of hives on my skin and voila, He gave me some medication for the hives. God is truly good and awesome, amen?

We all have many friends and acquaintances but we only have 1 family.

I want to thank my friends, Edel, Alfred and Teck Seng for being there for me these couple of months, encouraging me and being a listening ear to me. Thanks so much guys, <3 you all.

I want to thank my classmates, Farid, Sufyan, Yi Xuan, Jian Xiong, Lay Leng, Chu Ying, Pei Lin, Vivian , Hui San, Hui Yong and Ting Ting for being such wonderful people to me in school for helping me so much when I couldn't help myself. Even though I won't be in the same class as you all with you guys going on to Year 3 and me resuming Year 2, I want to say thank you very much.
