Media Statement on Repeal of 377A
Yahoo: NDR 2022: Churches say Section 377A repeal very regrettable, Pink Dot hails ‘victory’
The Humanist Society was quoted in this Yahoo article – NDR 2022: Churches say Section 377A repeal very regrettable, Pink Dot hails ‘victory’
The Humanist Society, which seeks to represent non-religious people in Singapore, said it “celebrates” the announcement to repeal S377A.
“S377A, a vestige of British colonial rule, criminalised sex between consenting male adults. It dehumanised individuals, infringed upon the most personal of liberties, and imposed a religious code on a secular public,” it said in a statement.
“We note that while some individuals or organisations may have disagreed with the repeal, we hope that they will eventually come around to see that building a fairer, more inclusive, secular society benefits everyone, regardless of race, language, religion, or sexual orientation.”
“With this repeal, we can look forward to a more progressive Singapore society, based on justice and equality.”
