What we have here however may put Pas in a tight spot -
SEKSUALITI MERDEKA 2011: Queer Without Fear LAUNCH
Officiated by Dato’ Ambiga Sreenevasan
The whole thing will be endorsed by Ambiga, the so-called heroine of Malaysian freedom for goodness sake. Pas support for her Bersih 2.0 had won the hard core Islamic party a moderate image and probably tens of thousands of votes from those who previously were scared of the party's theoracratic image, including the homosexuals, bisexual and other sexuals.
If Pas say it is against this Sexuality Merdeka thing, then how are they going to cope with the lost of support of sponsors such as these -
SPONSORS & SUPPORTERS of Seksualiti Merdeka 2011:
Amnesty International MalaysiaBar Council Malaysia Human Rights Committee
EMPOWER
KL Word
KRYSS (Knowledge & Rights with Young people through Safer Spaces)
Justice For Sisters
MyConstitution Campaign
MyNetra
Precious Old China Restaurant
PT Foundation
Pusat Rakyat LoyarBurok
Rev Yap Kim Hao
Quek Sue Yian
SUARAM
Tenaganita
Women's Aid Organisation
Women's Candidacy Initiative
United Nations Theme Group on HIV
and many other individuals
Pas' partners, the secular DAP and PKR can afford to take a stand of just not supporting nor condemning Ambiga and the gang for promoting free sex. Pas on the other hand must burn these people at the stake or risk being labeled as pussies due to their claim of being the defender of Islam and correct morality of Malaysians.
This free sex thing may even put the Pakatan partners at odd with each others. My bet is, they will resort to their usual excuse such as this -
Pakatan ‘agree to disagree’ (again?) this time on PPSMI
Whatever it is, I think it will be a bit hard for Pas to explain to their supporters, especially those who risked their family members in support of Ambiga that she is no longer a Pas' heroine.....
