The Our Singapore Conversation survey was wide-ranging in nature, covering issues from the economy to education to press freedom. However, in the end, much of the online discussions were centered on how a question on gays was phrased. Gay rights activists objected to Singaporeans being asked if they found "gay lifestyles" acceptable. The survey also shed light on the broad middle ground that remains neutral on this highly divisive issue. It is within the neutral group where "contestation will occur for sure", and where the debate will be framed as one of basic rights and moral values, says SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan.
