The same thing would most probably repeat for this coming seminar.

Speakers include a so-called ex-transgender who got a controversial funding from Singapore; the director of the biggest ex-gay organization in the world who always double speaks, a psychiatrist that was badly discredited and thrown out from all authoritative medical bodies... even one from a hate group in Hong Kong. Seriously, the concern should not be what they talk about. All of us that are born transsexuals and those of us that are comfortable with our sexual orientations can hardly relate to the pseudo-sciences and fabricated "facts" (how many got sexually abused before? and how many have bad parents? and how many played too much toys of the opposite stereotypical gender? how many of you are gender confused?) The main concern is this: Their target audience. It will include some confused LGBT persons, and most of the attendees would be paranoid parents and friends who thinks there are something wrong with people being in a different sexual orientation. They are bearing false witness, and just uses religion to comfort their bigotry and intolerance. The sad thing is, the attendees are going to be taught the most absolutely ridiculous stuff, everything that is so untrue about LGBTs, and the involvement of a member of a defunct hate group here suggests they are going to parrot around describing us as having a "pro-gay agenda" that will somehow (duh!) destroy society. Funnily enough, no one questions the obvious agenda from a group with financial clout and hate-mongering power bent on making LGBTs look like sick deviant creatures that should cured. As a person ex-gay survivor, and a writer on ex-gay issues, I highly recommend everyone to put this on high alert, because of its effects on the younger generation who may be forced to "change" or made confused by this discredited form of therapy.

Look at their parliamentarians: married, Christian, and heteronormative. Is it just me or is the Christian right taking over Singapore?
