		<description>A friend once told me something about feminism: that the chauvinistic men won&#039;t get it until it is proven/shown to them that patriarchal attitudes are more detrimental than advantageous to them.

I thought it was quite cool and I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s something that could work across the board for groups that find themselves in marginalised positions i.e. for the cause of sexual equality to be furthered in Singapore, perhaps it is more relevant to angle the approach along the lines of showing the people in positions of power that attempts to suppress homosexuality are more detrimental than it is advantageous.

So I personally think that the last question is in fact the most relevant lot of the survey, because it is the way to go + it assimilates dominant discourse into it as well: the people in power only understand sense in terms of dollars and cents, so pitch it to them that way. 

You do advertising, you should know what to do :)</description>

		<description>Hi &lt;b&gt;Joseph&lt;/b&gt;, I would if I could, but I haven&#039;t been able to find it off YouTube unfortunately. With exception to the first question, I do feel that the rest of the questions can act independently without the video. You think?</description>

		<description>Some observations which might be worth your consideration:

I thought the survey had a very distinct agenda--that individuals who react against homosexuality are necessarily moralists. 
The later part of the survey seems rather loaded too.
The questions appeared rather leading too--esp the qn on sinning and discrimination.

Also, the close-minded, discriminatory people whom you hope to identify might not come across your blog.

All the best for your survey!</description>

		<description>Hello &lt;b&gt;Shark Bait&lt;/b&gt;, 

Thanks for your feedback. I&#039;ve actually gotten the same comment from &lt;b&gt;Cowboy Caleb&lt;/b&gt; pertaining to the same question. I&#039;ve made some tweaks and provided a slightly more colloquial version. I hope that helps.

I hope homosexuals themselves will find your feedback on what you think about them (us) insightful. Thanks for this.</description>

		<description>I think this question could be better phrased to make it less confusing for those whose grasp of the English language is not as good as yours! Because I think I have read it wrong and voted the opposite of my intentions. 

&quot;It makes me no less a sinner if I discriminate against a person because he or she is a homosexual.&quot;

But my stance is, that while I&#039;m do not discriminate or think they are more of a sinner than anyone else, I do think that homosexuality should not be encouraged. That said, I won&#039;t judge them even if they are openly gay.</description>
