If you don’t agree you debate with facts and reasons. If you cannot handle the truth, then stay away instead of trying to discourage others from publishing it.

You said: The problem, quite obviously, is not Alex. The problem are these TOC readers who can’t see past their own prejudices, who want liberty and human rights for themselves (so if Alex argues for that, he is good) but not liberty and human rights for gays (and if Alex argues for that, he is bad).

Great points there. I hope Arix can learn from his mistakes and repent from his religious convictions. If religion is the root of Arix’s evil, what do we need to do to save Arix from future transgression? Traditional wisdom dictates we should uproot the cause (斩草除根).

Yeah, vote out PAP next election

When one migrates, a key nono would be for them to see themselves as the outsider, whoose culture is more “superior” or whatsoever per say.

When I lived in France, I did what the French did. Short of speaking good French, I try to assimilate in, and this is the only way that you can fit in. A common Chinese problem would be for Chinese to form “Chinatowns” in which are little enclaves where people live their own livestyles.

IMO, this is what makes people more scornful about. Fundamentally, we can remain chinese culturally, but we need to integrate to the host country as well.

Alex is remarkably consistent in his politics. He takes the progressive liberal point of view whether he is talking about freedom of speech, democracy in myanmar, foreign workers etc, etc, or gay rights. He speaks for liberty and equality for all oppressed groups, and for a more caring government. If you notice, he shows same disgust for oppressors, whether government, religious authorities or uncaring employers of foreign workers. You may not agree with him, but you can hardly accuse him of inconsistency.

How come, we have people here who say his political articles are good and acceptable for inclusion in TOC and his gay articles are not worth reading? His gay articles are also politics, and argued from exactly the same POV as he argues, for say, freedom of speech or workers rights.

The problem, quite obviously, is not Alex. The problem are these TOC readers who can’t see past their own prejudices, who want liberty and human rights for themselves (so if Alex argues for that, he is good) but not liberty and human rights for gays (and if Alex argues for that, he is bad).
Give me a break.
