MediaCorp TV Channel 5 was fined $15,000 by MDA (Media Development Authority) for promoting gay lifestyle by airing a programme on Jan 13, which showed a gay couple and their adopted baby.
It was reported in MediaCorp Press Today (25 April 2008, p.6) that MDA said the episode of Home and Décor series Find and Design, in which the host helped the couple decorate a nursery, ‘normalizes and promotes a gay lifestyle’.
It was considered “inappropriate” for its Sunday morning timeslot as that was ‘within families viewing hours’.
Last year, the broadcaster was fine $5000 for airing a kissing scene between two lesbians in an episode of drama series “Without a Trace”.
Furthermore, earlier this month, StarHub Cable was also fined $10,000 by MDA for airing a commercial that showed two lesbians kissing.
Being in a conservative society, I give my support to the government for retaining section 377A even though there were many who were trying to repeal it through the media. A video on YouTube showing Singapore artists giving their support for repealing 377A, created an up-roar in the net and there were blogs and debates going on for months on this topic.
Anyway, in the first place it is not right for 2 men to be married and let alone adopt a baby, because God only created 1 Adam and 1 Eve.
