In my opinion, same-sex marriages will become legal in Singapore one day. Same-sex marriages are currently illegal in Singapore, but this does not stop some people in Singapore from being homosexuals. Currently, Singaporeans mostly have a negative attitude towards homosexuals, and this may cause political parties to rethink if they were to legalize same-sex marriages, will they get the much needed votes for them to win the election? Recently, in the Singapore General Elections 2011, an opposition party member was caught attending a gay party. Once this was out in the news, which may be the deliberate action of the ruling party, Singaporeans condemned the opposition party member, including his party. This is an example on how same-sex marriages will not be legalized in the near future. However, some years back, there were comments made by MM Lee Kuan Yew on his views on homosexuals. He mentioned that, he was ‘OK’ with gay or lesbian MPs, as long as they don’t take their homosexual behavior public. He explained that this homosexuality may be due to genetic reasons or because of the environment the person grew up in. This shows us that people are starting to change the way they think, and gradually, these homosexuals will be accepted into the society. Already, in other Western countries, the people there are very open towards homosexuality and even some elected ministers or senators are gays. The government has lately been keeping rather quiet about the issue on their attitude towards homosexuals since the General Elections period where the Government questioned Singaporeans if they were ready to vote for a homosexual, who may be their MP, if elected. This may be the ruling party’s actions to rouse disapproval among voters about the opposition party, so that the ruling party could maintain their seat in the constituency. The government and other political parties keeping quiet after the issue and election period, may be due to the fact that the government is starting to accept these people into society slowly, instead of openly crictising them. However, I feel that same-sex marriage should be legalized only when the citizens of Singapore are ready to accept the homosexuals into the society, or the overwhelming reaction from the Singaporeans may go out of hand.
