was reading the Today newspaper on one of the mornings when i saw an article of this petition to repeal the penal code s377A..
"Outrages on decency.
377A. Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or abets the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years. "
simply put.. it just means that it is a crime for a man and another man to have sex whether privately or publicly.. and anyone found guilty for such offence may be sentenced to jail for up to 2 yrs..
this has.. in fact.. created much of a hoo-ha..
with much people being puzzled why such act exist to stop Gays from having sex but not Lesbians??
makes me recall for my lecturer always like to joke abt..
saying,"Spore is a very FAIR country.. even FAIRER for the women population.."
cos there's the existence of the Women's Charter..
interesting isnt it?
I'll be v keen to see how the entire petition thingy will go on..
and if our Spore Gov will indeed repeal this section of the Penal Code..
for those who are still unaware of this..
can take a look at the petition..
you can view the signatories from there..
you may wanna sign it as well if u stand up for it..
which i might most prob b doing..
but before that..
mayb some discussion with hubby dear =)
