Janet Ang on Constitution and Penal Code Amendment Bills relating to Section 377A
With a constitutional amendment to protect marriage, are there still circumstances where the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman can be subject to challenge and if so, how will these be dealt with? Will the Christian and Catholic churches be assured that they can continue to be free to preach against gay sexual acts? How will sexuality education be handled in schools and will Singapore’s family and social norms be protected? How does the Government intend to ensure that people are not ostracised, cancelled or attacked for their views? These were some questions raised by NMP Janet Ang in Parliament on Tuesday (Nov 29) during the debate on repealing Section 377A and amending Singapore’s Constitution to protect the definition of marriage.
