1. Define discrimination and provide the statistics.
2. If discrimination is just an idea and is so loosely used, it is great discrimination to call people who disagree with a certain lifestyle as bigots.

It is healthy that there is stigma to behaviour that does not help that person nor contribute to the common good of the society. As we all know, the HIV rates among the homosexual and bisexual is way above the heterosexual. Do check it out at MOH website, bearing in mind that the LGBTs constitute less than 2% of our population.
The writer is right in saying that everyone is free to live their life in Singapore. It's normalisation and celebration of their lifestyles that LGBTs want. Just as I cannot force you to change your lifestyle, no law, no amount of time can change the fact that we only discriminate against behaviours, NOT PEOPLE.
I love my friends who struggle with brokenness but that does not mean I have to agree with their lifestyles.
