“This is not a crusade against the people but there is a line that God has drawn for us, and we don’t want our nation crossing that line.”
Derek Hong, Pastor Church of our Saviour

“I started thinking, ‘Hey, parents, you better know what’s happening. You better do something about this, otherwise your daughter will come back and say, ‘Mum, I want to marry my girlfriend. Or your son will say: ‘Dad, I want to marry my boyfriend.”
Thio Su Mien

“I am a Christian. That is what defines who I am and what I think. The world, however, is secular. It is separate from my faith and should remain so because people out in the world are from various cultures and faiths.”
Packrat

“What is ironic is the ideological colonisation of neutral minds takes place alongside the battle with the self-created/imagined demon. So who is the real demon any way?”
Sam Ho

“I dare say that an appropriate Christian response is to resist the actions of these Christians.”
Gwee Li Sui
