Just sent in my second letter to TODAY newspaper. Don’t think not sure if they’ll publish it. Haha. I think writing such letters is quite fun. Quite relaxing too.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Indeed, as our society rapidly changes, there is a need to rethink traditional notions of “family”. (“Confucius Will Flip”, October 20)

But imagine if, in an effort to preserve a particular family model, the government required that grandparents, parents and children all lived together, made it compulsory for married couples to have children, and forbid single parenthood.

Imagine the outrage society will feel: surely we have the right to organize our own private lives. Yet this imaginary scenario is all too real for gay and lesbian Singaporeans, who are banned from forming a family of their own.

Indeed, it is time for us to accept that different people have different ideas of what “family” means to them, and stop demanding that everyone adheres to one particular family model.
