Neil Tennant, the openly gay vocalist half of the British synthpop duo, talks to Fridae about pop music, politics, and why they wrote songs to warn of the dangers of policies propagating fear and hatred. A Fridae Exclusive!
This weekend, the Singapore Lyric Opera presents Hey, Figaro!, a campy, modern take on Rossini's comic opera The Barber of Seville set in a hairdressing salon. Fridae talks to SLO Artistic Manager Adrian Poon and explores the hidden gay heritage of opera.
You might know him better as Magneto in X-Men or Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings, but Sir Ian McKellen (or Serena, as he once nicknamed himself) also holds a proud legacy as a gay rights campaigner in the UK and abroad. Currently touring with the Royal Shakespeare Company in a stage production of Shakespeare's King Lear and Anton Chekhov's The Seagull in Singapore, Sir Ian stops for a while to speak to Fridae about acting and activism. A Fridae exclusive.
As the much anticipated final instalment of the Asian Boys Trilogy opens next Wednesday, Fridae catches up with Johann S. Lee, who wrote Singapore's first gay novel, Peculiar Chris, in 1992 and from which Happy Endings is adapted.
Fridae talks to two gay Asian artists in New York at the opening of The Male Gaze, a gay art exhibition held at The powerHouse Arena which runs till May 27. What led them to America, and what do they want to say with their work? Ng Yi-Sheng finds out.
Organised by The Necessary Stage, the Singapore Fringe offers a medley of arts events based on the theme of Art and Disability. Watch out for Fundamentally Happy, a moving drama on paedophilia; plus a host of other bizarre happenings, including male pole-dancers in underwear and an appearance by celebrated drag queen Kumar.
Look out for SAFE Singapore, a new support group for straight family and friends of GLBT people with an upcoming website launch on Saturday, Dec 9 at Mox Bar. Fridae talks to Dr Khoo Hoon Eng, a co-founder of the group and a supportive mother of two gay sons.
The 5th Singapore AIDS Conference was themed "HIV in Singapore: The Challenge and the Hope." Fittingly, speakers seized this opportunity to challenge the government and the public to liberalise laws and attitudes towards MSMs and the HIV-positive community.
They're young, they're smart, and they're doing their bit for gay activism. Fridae talks to three groups of youths in Singapore, aged 16-22, who've started web-based initiatives to educate and support the queer community. Come meet the crews of Plume.sg and Queercast, plus a group of online film producers.
Here's a gay play with a difference: the audience gets to choose the ending. After seven months in a committed relationship, Jason cheats on his boyfriend Daniel, having unprotected sex with a stranger. Can the relationship survive the consequences? You decide. Presented by The Necessary Stage (Singapore) in conjunction with Action For AIDS.

I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes. I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night; I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late; I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like country’s peace, I like metropolis’ noise; I like the beautiful west lake in Hangzhou, I like the flat cornfield in Champaign. I like delicious food and comfortable shoes; I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh. I always wanted to be a great writer, like Victor Hugo who wrote "Les Miserable", or like Roman Roland who wrote "John Christopher". They have influenced millions of people through their books. I also wanted to be a great psychologist, like William James or Sigmund Freud, who could read people’s mind. Of course, I am nowhere close to these people, yet. I am just someone who does his thing his own way,But my dream is still alive.I believe that if your not busy living then you are busy not living. NB:Not interested in cam or hookups. I am real, you be real, too.
