Hate speech on local radio

I'd think the majority of sg_ljers are not the target audiences for the Love 97.2FM DJ Dongfang Billy aka Billy Wang's radio show. But I see a need to call him out after hearing some uninformed and damaging things he said over in his show.

I was just sitting in the living room, reading the papers when I heard him start talking about "homosexuality is a choice" and if you "make this choice and not one that is for marriage and family, you must be prepared for the consequences". AND, he was saying how they're releasing a book on the "touching stories" of ex-gays. Plus, he states that "homosexuality is a direct result of lack of family morality teaching".

Thie asshat is poisoning the minds of many people, esp. the housewives and mothers [the target audience for his show], in Singapore. And I wonder where all the guilt and inability to cope with a GLBT kid OR the so-called "conservative public is not ready to accept homosexuals" come from -_-" Just because HE decided to experiment with homosexuality back when he was just a screwed up kid and decided to be 'saved', he thinks he's an expert on all these things? Bah fundie - he was also saying that alongside homosexuality, he's going to discuss abortion too [another one of those things which he attribute to poor morality teaching in the family].

I got so peeved I had to step away to my room. When I re-appeared again, he had gotten a so-called 'expert' from Taiwan. I didn't hear everything but I think I heard enough when the 'expert' says that '85% of homosexuals are unhappy and repressed'. Gah! Where does this so-called 'expert' come from? We have no idea about his affliations or background - and yet, he comes on and starts making such baseless assertions.

And the scary, evil thing about all this is he says all this in a soft, gentle, "I am trying to help" tone - the scariest form of hate and ignorance.

This DJ has never been shy about his own religious conversion and it appears that he is using religious rhetoric on a supposed secular public radio [and getting away with it over and over again - this is not the first time I've heard such things from his show].

Present MDA regulations will not help in stemming such hate from the radio, though DJs can still be sacked and stations fined for making lewd remarks which will supposedly corrupt the kiddos' minds [or fined for making any references that encourage "homosexual lifestyles"]

Just thought I need to get the word out so that more people can call him [and others like him] out on his ill logic.

85% of homosexuals are unhappy and repressed

Because they're not accepted in "normal" society and are oppressed and misunderstood and prejudiced against and discriminated.

And people think it's because of their sexual inclinations? Bitch please. Just because that Dong Fang Billy has just recovered from his cancer thing, and was an "experimental" homosexual does not make him an expert.

...

Seriously. It's because of people like him that so many homosexuals are unhappy and repressed. If I started a hate campaign against radio DJs and it was a success, I can bet you that 85% of radio DJs would be unhappy and repressed too.

That is because he can not continue to live a homosexual life and forced to live a straight lifestyle is why he is bitter. I think this is rather apalling. Actually, maybe those 85% that the expert have met are unhappy simply because only the unhappy ones need experts to talk to or for counselling? Besides, the did not explore the unhappiness that those were experiencing.

meh... hear hear!!

I was listening to him talking about BSDM or something like that yesterday. And he was making some remark about how it's wrong and all these are bad Western influences on Asian society. Almost wanted to throw my earphones on the floor in public and stomp on them.

He's good in some ways, but he seems to be going way out of hand ever since he came back.

He has a lot of power and influence, that's the problem. People, liek, worship him, wth, and I see why, because he does talk to many frantic sufferers and comforts them.

That broadcast the OP mentioned was on in my house too, just now, and I mistook the message for a neutral one, having missed the part about change. Sigh. A few days ago they were referring to homosexuality as a psychological problem on Tab TV, hosted by Evelyn Tan. Double sigh.

As for BDSM, I can understand that perspective, I guess. It's a matter of exposure and ignorance as to what it really involves.

well.. you would have though he could be a little more neutral about such issues. I think Anna from UFM 100.3 did a much better job than him.
And he did mention that such people involved in BDSM should seek profeesional help. According to that 'Taiwan' expert. o_O Why Taiwan in the first place? Doesn't Singapore have such experts???

Like hello... I don't need anybody to tell me what's wrong and right in bedroom matters. As long as both parties are consensual and done in a controlled manner to enhance their pleasure, who cares???

=P

I never liked him, i find him si bei gay.

Personally, nothing about gays nor lesbian. I totally respect them man!

It's Dongfang Billy that i cannot stand. I seriously dont understand why housewives and grandmothers like him so much!!! What do they exactly see in him?!

me mama is a big fan of his.
ok that 's besides the point.

the other day while me mama was listening to his programme and I happened to be as home so listened as well. he was discussing about sexual issues (or fetish/pervish or whatever you call it) on air and I can see that me mama agrees with him and i, the total opposite. the scary thing is that aunties and grandmamas trust what he say so much that they almost do not think and agree with him. furthermore, he can actually continue to ramble about his married life to his husband and so on.. I am not against gays or with them getting married, perhaps this his way of opening up the older generations to homosexuality but his opinions are so skewed!

ok.. i'm talking no sense here but i really dislike the way he abuse his radio-celebraity thingy to influence others... urgh!

[info]therealkaizer

January 20 2006, 09:54:25 UTC 6 years ago

Hmm, he got married to a guy? Think you misheard... 'cuz he usually likes to "side with the aunties" and talk about husband-problems [he does come off as sounding as if he's more likely to have a husband than a wife...]

Yeah, the scary thing is all the aunties and ah-mahs are his biggest fans who lap up everything he says - argh!

January 20 2006, 13:35:04 UTC 6 years ago

remembered clearly he said, 你们都知道我最近嫁了老公 blah blah blah..

he's one scary guy... worst. with a skewed perception and the ability to influence many!

He became a straight women afterall?

then someone should say 98% of straight people feels unhappy.

Some people would say/do anything for money.

i wonder how he feels about plastic surgery and reconstruction of ugly jaw lines?

or sex change for that matter, considering how he seems like an auntie already :P

goodness, the locusts of ignorance plagues once again.

Makes you wonder why he didn`t die from cancer.

I know this sounds harsh, but then again who is he to judge homosexuals?
and now thanks to this broadcast, all metrosexual males will be drilled by their dongfang-billy-listening aunties during chinese new year as to whether they are gay or not.

Oh the imagine the pain.

Well, interesting isn't it... that such statements are coming from a once famous ex drag queen.

It seems more like he's the repressed closetted gay himself that had no choice to turn straight.

Why?

God knows. My guess is that he's/she's too ugly and wasn't doing well in the aj arena of yandaos. Still, doesn't give the a** a right to spout his/her mouth.

David Gan looks soooo respectable next to him now.

He is entitled to think of homosexuality as abnormal for all I care, but what's that bit about homosexuality due to the lack "morality teaching?" To extrapolate from such a claim, we could say that heterosexuality needs to be taught whereas homosexuality develops without teaching (spontaneous?). Now, which is more, erm, natural according to this Billy theory?

85% of gays are unhappy and repressed. With people like him and with discriminatory laws, does anyone expect them to be very happy and not-repressed??

Thanks for your support. Not much time to update the lj these days though. And heard that there might be laws regulating blogs coming.

he has a very weird logic going on there. makes you wonder how his mind connects things together (or maybe not at all).

Well, after hearing all the homophobic crap on English radios, I'm already not too surprised that this is allowed through... the 'opening up' wayang is just a nice shadow play, methinks.

That particular broadcast was on the morning of my post itself [was so peeved, I just had to log on and tell the world about it] - 2006-01-20. His broadcast is still going on at about the same time on weekdays and I'm pretty sure he'll be revisiting similar grounds in time to come.
