Gay teacher coming out

»

Otto Fong in RI said:

When you ask me who I am, I will answer: I am a son, a brother, a long-time companion, an uncle, a teacher, a classmate, a colleague, a part of your community, a HDB dweller, a Singaporean. And I am also gay.

Hi pennythots, the issue you raise seems to imply that it is the "gay agenda" which is responsible for transforming it into an act of bravery. I would say that the comments speak for itself, that many of the comments applauding Mr Fong for his bravery are his students, are they part of the gay agenda as well?

On another note, it seems that you are saying one should hide his sexuality in order to make people like you more comfortable.

Ah, yes, those innocent, naive, gullible days of hero worship. I thought Superman was cool, until I grew up. I was quite a smart kid too.
