Lets voice our differences not go to war about it

This is with reference to this article on yahoo. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/growing-debate-online-over-repeal-of-section-377a--095505691.html
Basically, some priests in Singapore speak out against what they seem as a rising tide of homosexuality.
Firstly, I am not bothered at all that our former Prime Minister, Goh Chok Tong, was in the audience when one of the pastors was speaking. He was there listening and should not shoulder any blame for what the Pastor said.
In my personal opinion, I really do not have any malice or preference to gays being in Singapore. If you want to be gay, be gay. Your life, your wish. I also do not think that gay people are detrimental to the Singaporean society having had served National Service with them. Just because you have gay friends; that does not mean that you would be gay too.
People can also follow religion where they say that its not okay to be gay if they want to. It is their right and wish to do so. The rest of Singapore, who may think otherwise, should respect this fact too. That being said, these kinds of matters should be of a personal matter and not one to be pressured or impressed upon society.
I am a practising Sikh. I do not cut my hair. I am a vegetarian and I follow a religion that say that it is not okay to eat meat or cut our hair. In the same manner that I do not go around trying to force Singapore not to eat meat or to close down barber shops, Churches too should respect individual right to be gay if they want to.
This brings me this major point upon Pastor Yang Tuck Yoong comment where he referred to this as a war. This is where I think the Pastor crossed the line. Pastor Yang, we should never be in a proverbial or actual war with another. We are Singaporeans, regardless of whatever one thinks or believe in.
We are Singaporean regardless of race, language, RELIGION, thought and so on. We are Singaporeans, Christians, Muslim, Buddhist, Free thinkers, Hindus or Sikhs. We are Singaporeans, Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian or others. We are Singaporeans straight or gay. We are Singaporeans whether we support the PAP, or the Workers Party, or any candidate that we feel is best. We are Singaporeans, Pastor Yang; first and foremost.
Just as we have different races, religions and political affiliation, we have differences in the way we think. To change one's thought process, one should talk and persuade, not go on a warpath. We are an intelligent society. Let us decide if it is okay to be gay or not okay to be gay. You tell us your point of view and then let us decide.
Do not even talk about war against how we think. That sets a very dangerous precedent. If it is okay that we go to war with people who are gay, are PAP supporters going to then start a war with the Worker's Party supporters next? What if we go to war because we are if a different race?
To cap things off, I have absolutely no idea if there are homosexual activist who are going around waging war against the church or anything like that. If they are, then they should be ashamed. If they are just going against 377A, then I think it is okay.
