Even the feminist mentor said that AWARE was portraying homosexuality in the neutral light. So when has the neutrality turned into bias at one end?
However, the most regretful thing regarding such commenters was their judgement of NMP Siew through their “repeal Section 377A” and “supporter of AWARE’s old guards” lenses.
