4 | | Maherin'ny 20.000 ireo nanasonia ny fanangonan-tsonia antserasera mangataka amin'ny orinasa Mediacorp, fahitalavi-panjakana mba hanafoana ny fanasana ilay mpihira Amerikana Adam Lambert tsy hanatanteraka fampisehoana amin'ny taombaovao ao Singapaoro. |
5 | The petitioners argue that Lambert might perform ‘lewd acts' that could offend the concert audience and TV viewers. | Milaza ireo mpanao fitakiana fa mety hanao fampisehoana “fihetsika vetaveta” i Lambert ka mety hanafintohina ny mpijery ny fampisehoana sy ny mpijery fahitalavitra. |
6 | A counter petition supporting Lambert was also launched and has already gathered more than 24,000 signatures. | Nisy ihany koa ny fanangonan-tsonia manohitra izany ary manohana an'i Lambert izay efa nahazo sonia maherin'ny 24.000 sahady. |
7 | The original petition highlighted Lambert's promotion of LGBT rights, which the petitioners claimed is “contrary to mainstream Singaporean values.” | Nanasongadina ny fampiroboroboan'i Lambert ny zon'ny LGBT ny fanangonan-tsonia voalohany, izay nolazain'ireo mpanao fitakiana fa “mifanohitra amin'ny soatoaviana mahazatra ny Singapaoreana.” |
8 | Adam Lambert is hardly the kind of performer to send off our historic Jubilee Year or to usher in the New Year. | Sarotra dia sarotra amin'ny karazana mpihira toa an'i Adam Lambert ny haharoaka ny Taon-jobilintsika manatantara na hitarika antsika any amin'ny Taombaovao. |
9 | His track record displays a flagrant disregard for the sensitivities of his audience - including whether or not children are watching. | Mampiseho tsy fitsinjovana miharihary izay mety ho fahatafintohinan'ny mpijery azy ireo rakikira nahitana azy - anisan'izany ny mety hisian'ny ankizy mijery. |
10 | Singaporeans can enjoy a good show without their consciences being affronted by lewd acts in the name of entertainment. | Afaka mankafy fampisehoana tsara tsy mihaino ny feon'ny fieritreretany miatrika fihetsika vetaveta amin'ny anaran'ny fialam-boly ny Singapaoreana. |
11 | In addition, a simple online search would reveal that he is well-known for his active promotion of a highly sexualized lifestyle and LGBT rights, both of which are contrary to mainstream Singaporean values. | Ankoatra izany, mampiseho ny fikarohana tsotra amin'ny aterineto fa malaza amin'ny fahavitrihany mampiroborobo ny fomba fiaina ara-nofo tanteraka sy ny zon'ny LGBT izy, izay samy mifanohitra amin'ny soatoavina mahazatra ny Singapaoreana. |
12 | After it was criticized by the LGBT community, the text of the petition was edited by removing references on Lambert's sexuality: | Rehefa notsikerain'ny fiarahamonina LGBT izany, dia novaina ny lahatsoratry ny fanangona-tsonia tamin'ny fanalana ny fiainana ara-nofon'i Lambert: |
13 | Unfortunately, our concerns to address the probability of lewd acts on a public platform have been downplayed and turned into yet another political LGBT rights issue. | Indrisy, atao an-tsirambina ny ahiahinay amin'ny mety hisian'ny fihetsika vetaveta eo amin'ny sehatra hitam-bahoaka ary navadika ho resaka politika mikasika ny olana momba ny zon'ny LGBT. |
14 | A counter petition was launched by those who claim to be the ‘moral majority' of Singapore in support of Lambert's scheduled performance this month. | Nisy ihany koa ny fanangonan-tsonia manohitra nataon'ireo milaza fa “maro an'isa ara-moraly” ao Singapaoro ho fanohanana ny fampisehoan'i Lambert efa voaomana amin'ity volana ity. |
15 | Please allow Adam Lambert to perform in Countdown 2016 to demonstrate to the whole world that Singapore is a country that shuns discrimination and promotes diverse inclusive points of view. | Miangavy avelao i Adam Lambert hanao fampisehoana amin'ny Fandraisana ny taona 2016 mba hanehoana amin'izao tontolo izao fa firenena misoroka ny fanavakavahana sy mampiroborobo ny fahasamihafana ara-pijery i Singapaoro. |
16 | Responding to the petition against him, Lambert promised that his show will be a “thoughtful and sophisticated insight into the pursuit of happiness and self-worth.” | Tamin'ny famaliana ny fanangonan-tsonia manohitra azy, dia nampanantena i Lambert fa ho “seho voahevitra sy avo lenta ao anatin'ny fikatsahana ny fahasambarana sy ny fahamendrehana” ny fampisehoana ho ataony. |
17 | His statement was released on Facebook by his music label: | Navoakan'ny marika mozikany tao amin'ny Facebook ny fanambarana nataony: |
18 | My performance at Celebrate 2016 will not only be a spectacular one, it will celebrate the entire human family in all its diversity. | Ny fampisehoana ataoko amin'ny Fandraisana ny Taona Vaovao 2016 dia tsy ho mahatalanjona ihany fa hankalaza ny fianakavian'olombelona manontolo ao anatin'ny fahasamihafany ihany koa. |
19 | I am a uniter, not a divider, and I believe in celebrating the human heart and spirit. | Mpampiray aho, fa tsy mpanasaraka, ary mino ny fankalazana ny fanahy sy fon'olombelona aho. |
20 | One of the early supporters of the petition against Lambert is Focus on the Family, a Christian charity organization: | Iray amin'ireo mpanohana voalohany ny fanangonan-tsonia manohitra an'i Lambert ny Focus on the Family (Mifantoha amin'ny Fianakaviana), fikambanana kristianina mpanao asa soa: |
21 | Would you be okay with your children watching this? | Manaiky ny hiaraka hijery izao amin'ny zanakao ve ianao? |
22 | We, at Focus, support initiatives to promote healthy family entertainment. | Izahay, ato amin'ny Focus, dia manohana ny fisantarana andraikitra mampiroborobo ny fialam-boly mahasalamana ny fianakaviana. |
23 | Join us as we strive to build a safer and more wholesome environment for our children. | Miaraha aminay satria miezaka hatrany manorina tontolo azo antoka sy mahasoa kokoa ho an'ny zanantsika izahay. |
24 | The group is referring to some of Lambert's shows in other countries which featured men kissing each other. | Milaza momba ireo fampisehoan'i Lambert tany amin'ny firenen-kafa izay mampiseho lehilahy mifanoroka ny fikambanana . |
25 | But Lambert's supporters reminded his critics that the singer has performed twice in Singapore without generating controversy. | Saingy nampahatsiahy ireo mpanohana an'i Lambert fa efa nanao fampisehoana in-droa tao Singapaoro tsy niteraka adihevitra ity mpihira ity. |
26 | Nic Lim, administrator of an LGBT group in Singapore, urged the anti-Lambert petitioners not to focus on the sexual orientation of the singer: | Nic Lim, mpitantana vondrona LGBT iray ao Singapaoro, nampirisika ireo mpanao fitakiana manohitra an'i Lambert mba tsy hifantoka amin'ny fironana ara-nofon'ilay mpihira : |
27 | To reduce a performer to his or her sexual orientation is not just offensive but degrading and unbecoming of a civilized society. | Tsy manafintohina ihany ny fanamaivanana mpanakanto amin'ny fironany ara-nofo fa manambany sy tsy mendrika ny fiaraha-monina mandroso. |
28 | For activist writer Kirsten Han, she advised the petitioners to simply turn off the TV if they find Lambert's performance not suitable for children: | Ho an'ilay mpanoratra-mpikatroka Kirsten Han, nanoro hevitra ireo mpanao fitakiana izy mba hamono fotsiny ny fahitalavitr'izy ireo rehefa hitan'izy ireo fa tsy sahaza ho an'ny ankizy ny fampisehoan'i Lambert: |
29 | …even if he does something you don't condone and your kids happen to see it, you can always turn the television off and explain your point of view to them. | …na dia manao zavatra tsy ekenao aza izy ary mipoitra mahita izany ny zanakao, afaka mamono hatrany ny fahitalavitra ianao ary manazava ny hevitrao amin'izy ireo. |
30 | That's part of parenting, after all. | Anisan'ny andrakitry ny ray aman-dreny izany. |
31 | But some of those who signed the petition clarified that they are not against the sexuality of Lambert but only with his ‘lewd acts' on stage. | Saingy nanazava ny sasany tamin'ireo nanasonia ny fanangonan-tsonia fa tsy manohitra ny fironana ara-nofon'i Lambert izy ireo fa ny “fihetsika vetaveta” ataony eny ambony sehatra. |
32 | Mediacorp announced the Lambert will proceed with his performance at the end of the month. | Nanambara ny Mediacorp fa hanatanteraka ny fampisehoany i Lambert amin'ny faran'ny volana. |
33 | This issue once again highlighted some of the challenges faced by the LGBT community in Singapore, a society where sexual activity between men remains a criminal offense. | Ity olana ity dia manasongadina indray ny sasany amin'ireo fanamby atrehin'ny fiarahamonina LGBT ao Singapaoro, fiarahamonina izay mijanona ho heloka bevava ny firaisana ara-nofo eo amin'ny samy lehilahy. |
