Can End of The World Be Far?
In between our blankets, other families set up their picnics and played ball; children came up to us and asked to play with our dogs. Grown men and women and little girls from other families would confuse us by wearing pink T-shirts – and not all of us queers were in pink, either; some of us dressed in brown and blue and black and white… Those gays, always trying to blend into the rest of society! |

Holy smokes! • Picture it: America, 2035 - God has smitten costume-wearing sex fiends. Gays become national treasure. • Can Singapore's homophobia get any more ridiculous? The Media Development agency has censored a short story reading which included a story by gay author Ng Yi-Sheng: Ng's text was disallowed as it had gone beyond good taste and decency in taking a disparaging and disrespectful view of public officers. Ng's got at least one theory as to why the government banned his story: it included a politician called "Lee Low Tar," which sounds somewhat similar to PM Lee Hsien Loong. |

Warn Foreigners To Stay Out Their Discriminatory Business
The forum, which would have featured Canadian theorist Douglas Sanders, got the ax after officials rejected Sanders' visa and lashed out at the event's international flavor. The Home Affairs released a statement yesterday, which reads: Our laws are an expression and reflection of the values of our society; the discourse over a domestic issue such as the laws that govern homosexuality in Singapore must be reserved for Singaporeans … foreigners should refrain from interfering. Funny, because we thought Singapore's anti-gay laws were just a throwback to Britain's colonial era Section 377. |

• Rhiannon O'Donnabhain declared her $25,000 same sex operation as a medical expense. The IRS told her to turn her head and cough up the dough. Now she's suing. • Will Brooks-Brothers' Thom Browne gamble pay off? • If this happened today, the seemingly helpful, zoo keeping penis guru would be in jail. Or a priest. |

The group's website states: The NCCS commends the Government on taking a clear, unequivocal and bold stand of neither encouraging nor endorsing a homosexual lifestyle and opposing the presentation of the same as part of a mainstream way of life.” They go on to recommend the government extend the prohibition to women of the lesbianic variety: Given that section 377A PC criminalises homosexuality whether done private or publicly, we are of the view that a similar prohibition ought to be enacted in respect of lesbianism, considering that lesbianism (like homosexuality) is also abhorrent and deviant, whether consensual or not. Well, at least don't discriminate in their discrimination, right? |

You now that the universe has been thrown out of wack (in a good way, of course) when a country where gay sex is punishable by getting tossed in the slammer for two years moving forward with screenings of Brokeback Mountain. Conservative Singapore (remember this is the same place that gave that poor American graffiti artist a spanking a while back- okay they caned the fuck out of the poor kid) doesn't mind seeing Heath and Jake perform some hot shirtless field wrestling. The country’s film critics are even going so far as to call the movie "not very controversial.”
Someone better inform those right-wingers in the U.S. They seem to think otherwise. |
