2022: Supported the repeal of Section 377A

As a Member of Parliament, I represent the aspirations of residents from traditional and non-traditional family units and also the rights of my constituents, regardless of their sexual orientation. I hope the decriminalisation of gay sex will bring relief to those who have experienced discrimination.

2022: Expressed hope that Singapore can create and build models to affirm heterosexual marriage

Singapore has worked hard to create and build models that have worked well for us – economically, socially and religiously – precisely because we are a pluralistic society. This has been our strength, not a weakness. I am hopeful that we can do the same in the space of affirming heterosexual marriage and family culture, while creating safe social spaces for gay persons.

2022: Spoke against cancel culture

It has brought distress to some parents to hear that terms ranging from "cancel them", "bigots" to homophobic, derogatory names are being used in our classrooms against students who do not share the same views on this topic, forcing others into silence.

No one should attack the other and no one should fear being cancelled for holding or expressing pro-homosexual, pro-traditional family views or neutral views. We cannot allow coercion to infringe upon an individual's right to decide on matters of conscience and conviction. This is a right that we must protect through legislation as an open, multi-religious and multi-ethnic society.

Wisdom is found in the ability to get along with others. Just as family members differ from one another, yet still share our lives together, can we, as Singaporeans, define our relational compact to be one of a wider brother- or sisterhood? We can remain honouring of others while disagreeing, respectful without conforming.

2022: Sexual identity is not the sum of who we are

On the repeal, let us remember that our sexual identity, while being an important aspect of our identity, is not the sum total of who we are. If we choose to go deeper into our fuller human identity, we will perhaps find connections that will help us acknowledge and understand one another in our common humanity.
