Last night, while out with Kalvin, we were pretty much bored and had decided to play a little road game he calls “count the gays”. So within the span of 2 hours, we walked from Raffles City and through City Link then into Marina Square. If you think we are done, afterwhich we went over to Suntec and then back into City Link and one last final lap within Raffles City. The total outcome of this? 1034 GAYS counted on the streets. All within a span of 2 hours. So we were bored and this was fun =D

However a much more ‘political’ topic came up in our conversation. If you are gay, you probably would have heard about Mediacorp being fined $15,000 for airing a show which “promotes a gay lifestyle”. It was a home decor show which was depicting a gay family with a baby. In my opinion, MDA was within their limits and rights to have fined Mediacorp. It wasn’t a first offense and it’s not like Mediacorp can’t afford the $15,000 fine. Gays in Singapore are taking this way too personally. It’s not like that rule was created yesterday and used to simply target the gays. The MDA didn't say ‘die you stupid fags’. Aren’t you guys procrastinating? When the rule existed, you kept quiet. Only when something happened then you start getting over dramatic and becoming so gung ho about gay activism. There are always both side to a situation. Stop over dramatising.

To heighten this melodramatic moment, One Seven have just been raided 2 nights ago and apparently the particulars of the patrons were taken down. Some said that the raid was in the pretense of “candy” while others had said that it was blatantly because of suspicion of activities within One Seven which was in breech of S377A. Whichever it was, the gays are already starting to make it very very dramatic. Don’t over react. Look at the whole situation logically and maturely instead of rushing into it head first and creating such a spectacle that will only cause more harm than good.

I understand that some people, after reading this post, will have strong feelings AGAINST me. Well, there is nothing i can do there i guess... You’ve got a pen and a paper. Why don’t you write a long long letter to someone and complain about me then? Since apparently you only know how to type behind a screen to voice how displeased you are.
