MB#68: How do I even bear anti-gay Singapore?
10 years ago
General
Hey Singapore, whatever happened to equality for all? It looks like the thought of two grown Singaporean men making love to each other has done you in. It is alright if you feel icky about it, but when you
start saying out loud that you would like to burn all fags in a pyre with every book about gay penguins and flamingos,
threaten to take down from TV, rape and kill a celebrity, who once graced my own house with her cheerful disposition, just for publicly supporting LGBTQ people,
and parrot gay panic bullshit cooked up by US American Christian fundagelicals who fear the NAZI gay army will take over the world and purge all cis-het humans,
I lose hope with you and start seeing that you want the good image and money Europeans, Americans and Australasians give you when they work with you, but you would rather they shut the fuck up about liberty and equality.
When otherwise nice Christian, Muslim, Hindu, hell even atheist Singaporeans, for fuck's sake, unite to shout down LGBTQ freedom activists, I lose hope and become more detached from Singapore's hard-earned glamour, prestige and pedigree.
Having lived much of my life never fitting in with everyday Singaporeans, seeing such behaviour has only convinced me not to bother trying to fit in anymore, and just fly away to Australasia, North America or Western Europe. Too bad I don't know how.
Gosh, how do I even?

I'm guessing neither your family nor friends outside the Internet are empathetic to LGBTQ people.
Sounds like a lot of frustrating number and address changes happened while your friends were getting married. If they are difficult to reach even with the Internet, then they could be really busy. I hope none are married while 'in the closet' - that would be sad!
Thank you for the talk, and also for founding
