Wonderful! I am so proud they were recognized for their achievements and hard work. May many more take up the cause and fight for the rights and well being of The LGBT community.
So, S'poreans think that reserving the ability to lock people in prison for two years because they do not approve of whom they love is reasonable. Religious assholes insist on imposing their wills on everyone, whether they share belief in religious nonsense or not. So much for their loving gods...
This is so good to hear! South Korea need more celebrity/famous/powerful people to come forth and support the LGBT community. Kudos for Jo Kwon. May his actions open the doors for more people follow his lead!!
usually，the Chinese gov cut the whole film/show/drama,pretend there no gay thing in China and to protect people especially the youth from something wrong,LOL
The civil partnership bill that was introduced has solved some of the troubling issues for LGBT couples such as welfare benefits and the handling of inheritances. ......HOWEVER......
It has been reported that a minister from the Thai government was said to be boasting about giving gay couples only "90 percent" of the rights heterosexual couples are enjoying. Among the rights not allowed by LGBT couples is the right to adopt a child.
That is why this bill should be considered as not enough and the LGBT community should voice their objection to be limited on their rights for being in a same sex partnership.
This inequality in marriage rights is simply saying that LGBT people are not equal to everyone else and should be treated accordingly. And if it is true that a Thai government minister made comments such as this, then it certainly shows how biased some of the people involved in adopting this bill into law are. A real disgrace.
Hold out for equal marriage. They will give it if enough citizens demand it. Once civil partnership is on the books it could be all but impossible to get the powers to be to revisit this issue to change it to equal marriage for all. This is a bandaid fix for a preverbal broken arm; stay the course and demand full equal marriage for all.
Why should anyone take crumbs when they are deserving as anyone else in having a whole cookie?
This is all well and good, however, when you have countries that harass or condemn their citizens for being with same sex partners, (examples: Indonesia, Malaysia, China--this is certainly not the complete list!), people are not going to take much less report anything for fear of bad treatment they may receive.
So these things may be offered but they won't be used until people can trust they won't be abused by their peers or their government.
So good luck making this successful until a strong system can be put in place to protect the privacy rights of same sex partners.
Nope! I really don't want to see them doing a half-ass start on this.
Do regular marriage with all the same rights and priviliages of herosexual couples. Equality in marriage is the ONLY way to go for EVERYONE.
two things in her son's letter that were very painful for mum
"mum, I wish I died the day I was born so that I didn't create all the social issues for you."
"Had I been born a disable child you would have loved and protected me every day, but because I was born gay you could have never forgiven for that"
Yeah Singapore is always on top as usual. Keep up the great work. By the way I read something very interesting about men health https://www.dtapclinic.com/mens-health/ and wanted to share. Hope it will help. Cheers!
Baby Steps....Baby Steps. Open-mindedness is something that doesn't come easy in a traditional society. Kudos to the people of Vietnam for trying to make a difference in their future for the LGBT community!!!!
Visas: la justice hongkongaise donne raison à un couple de lesbiennes

I don't see a problem here as only the upper torsos of both men were showing so there is no nudity involved and it was only "implied" sex. But it was gay so they want to probably make an example of the two by drawing it out into the public by fining and imprisoning these guys to show how perverted same-sex couples act. If this had happened to a heterosexual couple it wouldn't go any farther more than likely.
Nope captain, it isn't as seen by the title Advertising Feature and subtext - This is an Advertising Feature. However I am with you on the same-sex wedding issue. How are we to know as there seems to be no mention in the ad nor on the website.
