Most of you might know of the conservative Facebook group "We Are Against Pinkdot in Singapore", from which the recent Media Development Authority (MDA) ban of a brief kiss between two male characters of Les Misérables's current stage run and one Bryan Lim spawned.

In the wake of Monday's saga (June 13) involving Lim's comment on a post about Bloomberg supporting the pro-LGBT movement, Lim claimed he was quoted "out of context" in multiple follow-up comments.

Here's one posted to Mothership.sg's first article about him:

Meanwhile, on We Are Against Pink Dot (WAAPD), Lim's fellow group members rallied around his cause, expressing concern for his welfare:

One member even suggested filing a defamation suit against the "perpetrator" of Lim's downfall:
