1) Thanks for your reply , but i still disagree the sentence that you had been write. (i know that it can’t be undo when it was done)

2)I prefer the answer is ” anyone can be an editor in anywhere regardless of their sex orientation ”

3)oh, i apoloy that i mis-undertood what your mean.

My comments were in response to gemami who said:

“I understand also that there are a number of gays in TOC who may influence your decision making process.”

We do not discriminate anyone here on TOC – whatever their sexual orientation.

Andrew

i read again u statement “…..we do not have anyone who’s gay on the editorial team….” may i know what is the objective of this statement ? are u disagree to work with gay or will not hire gay as your employee ?

The pink triangle as used as a Nazi concentration camp badge to denote sexual offenders. It is sometimes turned ‘point up’ as a gay pride and gay rights symbolThe pink triangle (German: Rosa Winkel) was one of the Nazi concentration camp badges, used to identify sexual offenders, this also inculded homosexual men along with rapists, bestiality and paedophiles.

Under Nazi Germany every prisoner had to wear a concentration camp badge on their jacket, the colour of which categorized them into groups. Individuals who were sexual offenders (inculding homosexual men) had to wear the Pink Triangle. Other colours identified Jews (two triangles superimposed as a yellow star), political prisoners, Jehovah’s Witnesses, “anti-social” prisoners, and others the Nazis deemed undesirable.

While the number of homosexuals in German concentration camps is hard to estimate, Richard Plant gives a rough estimate of the number of men convicted for homosexuality “between 1933 to 1944 at between 50,000 and 63,000.”

After the camps were liberated at the end of the Second World War, many of the pink triangle prisoners were often simply re-imprisoned by the Allied-established Federal Republic of Germany. An openly gay man named Heinz Dörmer, for instance, served 20 years total, first in a Nazi concentration camp and then in the jails of the new Republic. In fact, the Nazi amendments to Paragraph 175, which turned homosexuality from a minor offence into a felony, remained intact after the war for a further 24 years. While suits seeking monetary compensation have failed, in 2002 the German government issued an official apology to the gay community.

Today, fewer than ten of those imprisoned for homosexuality are known to be still living. In 2000, the documentary film Paragraph 175 recorded some of their testimonies.

1)Homophobia , Please stop your anti-homosexual political agenda.

Parents certainly do suffer because of the homosexuality of their children… but such suffering is unnecessary and hollow… like wolves selfishly howling at the moon for disturbing the darkness of the night… parents who are knowledgeable, wise, and truly caring do not torment their kids for being gay… these wise parents know that life will be difficult enough because of our society’s backwardness and try their best to make the family an oasis of love and acceptance for all their children.

It is a grave weakness of conservative societies such as ours that irrational prejudices are passed on from one generation to another… and in the case of homosexuality, the ignorance verges on ridiculous and simple-minded … the very notion that homosexuals can be turned straight by the nagging of their parents or teachers or anybody is a sort of mindless cruelty … they can perhaps be persuaded to live sterile, passionless lives by pretending to be straight… but i wonder how worthwhile such a life can ever be… would u sacrifice all possibility of love and passion just to please your parents? even worse, would u expect it expect it of your children?

in singapore, it is sometimes apparent that parents need sex education far more than the children … certainly our society will be happier and healthier when it is more open and tolerant … we have lived far too long as an uptight, hypocritical, ungracious, stressed-out people who don’t quite yet grasp that life is about happiness, not mindless duty and smug conformity.

1)Pls do read your science chapter :

Prenatal hormones

The prenatal hormonal theory of sexual orientation suggests that people who are exposed to excess levels of sex hormones have masculinized brains and show increased homosexuality. Research on special conditions such as CAH and DES indicate that prenatal exposure to, respectively, excess testosterone and estrogens are associated with female–female sex fantasies in adults. Both effects are associated with bisexuality rather than homosexuality.
There is research evidence that the ratio of the length of the 2nd and 4th digits (index finger and ring finger) is somewhat negatively related to prenatal testosterone and positively to estrogen. Studies measuring the fingers found a statistically significant skew in the 2D:4D ratio (long ring finger) towards homosexuality with an even lower ratio in bisexuals. It is suggested that exposure to high prenatal testosterone and low prenatal estrogen concentrations is one cause of homosexuality whereas exposure to very high testosterone levels may be associated with bisexuality. Because testosterone in general is important for sexual differentiation, this view offers an alternative to the suggestion that male homosexuality is genetic.
The prenatal hormonal theory suggests that a homosexual orientation results from exposure to excessive testosterone causing an over-masculinized brain. This is contradictory to another hypothesis that homosexual preferences may be due to a feminized brain in males. However, it has also been suggested that homosexuality may be due to high prenatal levels of unbound testosterone that results from a lack of receptors at particular brain sites. Therefore the brain could be feminized while other features, such as the 2D:4D ratio could be over-masculinized.

Brain structure

LaVey’s (1991) examination at autopsy of 18 homosexual men, 1 bisexual man, 16 presumably heterosexual men and 6 presumably heterosexual women found that the INAH 3 nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus of homosexual men was smaller than that of heterosexual men and closer in size of heterosexual women

2)Feel sad if your son is “born in the way”. because you will be the sad father soon.

3) which chapther and session of your moral pages builded your parenthood?

Why do parents want the contents of sex education in schools to be openly published? Because they love their children enough to care. Why are they angry that AWARE claims ‘copyright’ as a reason not to share their version of sex education? Because they love their children enough to care.

People from different religions and there are also people who are atheist who are sad if their family members are homosexuals. Don’t call them ‘small minded’.

Don’t deny the freedom of homosexuals who become heterosexuals and have families. As the Minister of Education puts it well, which parent does not want their children to settle down and have children of their own? I have great joy with my sons. You would too.

I am homosexuals , i have the “RIGHT” no to change ! You also have the “RIGHT” to be homophabia because we know you are ” unchangeable”

Human rights are “rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.” Proponents of the concept usually assert that everyone is endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human

The Yogyakarta Principles on the Application of International Human Rights Law in relation to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity is a set of international principles relating to sexual orientation and gender identity, intended to address documented evidence of abuse of rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, and further of intersexuality requested by Louise Arbour according to the International Human Rights Law

Yogyakarta Principles was launched as a global charter for gay rights on 26 March 2007 in Geneva. Michael O’Flaherty, spoke at the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) Conference in Lithuania on 27 October 2007; he explained that “All human rights belong to all of us. We have human rights because we exist – not because we are gay or straight and irrespective of our gender identities”, but that in many situations these human rights are not respected or realised, and that “the Yogyakarta Principles is to redress that situation

fortunately i have educated parents who wouldn’t have nervous breakdowns if i was gay… they are the ones who taught me my values and how to be a good human being

btw, i’m straight and married… it reflects your smallness and lack of imagination to assume that anyone who doesn’t want to burn homos at the stake is gay

i suggest you educate yourself about human sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular.

being trapped in a closed mind makes the world a very, very small place.

perhaps you can start with googling what the American Medical Association, American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, Canadian Psychological Association, Royal College of Psychiatrists, etc say about your uninformed insistence that homosexuals can magically become heterosexuals … yet i somehow suspect that the even the enormous weight of the world’s medical and scientific consensus will be unable to shake your conviction that you and others of your irrational ilk are right

Why must homosexuals insist that homosexuals must stay as homosexuals. So sad.

i’m not sure what u expect homosexuals to do to insulate their parents from the grief, pain, and shame that anti-homo people like you impose on them … u want gays to pretend that they are not gay just so it looks better?

maybe it’s the parents (and you) who should seek help and enlightenment to free themselves (and yourself) from their (and your) prejudices and ignorance… it seems a way lot easier to change what you’ve been taught to believe rather than what nature designed you to be

Homophobia manifests in different forms, and a number of different types have been postulated, among which are internalized homophobia, social homophobia, emotional homophobia, rationalized homophobia, and others.There were also ideas to classify homophobia, racism, and sexism as an intolerant personality disorder.

Whatever you say, you surely realize the grief and pain you brought to your parents when they know you are homosexual. Look for help please. Really, I am not here to pour salt into your wound. Please look for help.

Kinsey himself avoided and disapproved of using terms like homosexual or heterosexual to describe individuals, asserting that sexuality is prone to change over time, and that sexual behavior can be understood both as physical contact as well as purely psychological phenomena (desire, sexual attraction, fantasy)

Such agenda no good for our kids future.

MOE and sex ed: let the culture war begin!

Last week, Singapore’s Ministry of Education released its new approved sex education vendors list after a revamp and audit of external vendors and their programmes. Word has it that liberals and secularists in Singapore are concerned with the new list – 5 out of 6 of the vendors are linked to Christian organisations

Cannot imagine any mother jumping up and shouting ‘hooray’ when her beloved boy is mini-Hitler.

Anyway, the mockery of the Sex Education in schools is going to let the x-tian fundie wolves in again.
