TODAY: Support for a cause should not divide community: Yaacob

TODAY reported Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim saying that Singapore is a multiracial and secular society and those who want to express support for a cause or a choice of lifestyle should express it in a way that does not divide the community.

In the article, the Humanist Society (Singapore) was mentioned as one of the signatories of an online statement signed by several civil societies expressing worry that the LGBT issue has been portrayed as a conflict between religious versus secular values. This followed the Wear White campaign launched by an Islamic religious teacher as a protest against homosexuality.
