A picnic to be held at the Botanic Gardens on Singapore's National Day and organised as part of Singapore's pride festival has become the latest victim of the country's anti-gay system.
Despite her loss, Kanako Otsuji is upbeat that her candidacy will give rise to a new movement dedicated to gay rights advocacy in Japan. She speaks to Fridae's Tokyo correspondent Kimberly Hughes in an exclusive interview.

Following a widely publicised ban of a photographic exhibition depicting same-sex couples kissing, a scheduled lecture by a Canadian law professor on anti-gay laws has been banned by the authorities.

The Elton John AIDS Foundation has in a statement chastised the attitude of Nepalese government health officials after a local group, which is partially funded by the foundation, was asked to stop its support programme for gays and transgenders on the grounds that gays "polluted" society.

I'm a relationship oriented guy. Versatile, HIV-, no drugs, no drama. Love to laugh. Live right on a lake and enjoy the water. Love to explore, and the DC area has lots of interesting things to see and do. Looking for a decent looking guy, 24 - 39, whose mind is working, has a decent sense of humor and some adventure in him. Someone who says what he means and means what he says.
