This week, Fridae speaks to Dr Russell Heng about this upcoming talk on Aug 16. Titled "Where Queens Ruled! A History of Gay Venues in Singapore," the talk is part of IndigNation, a collection of events to celebrate pride in Singapore.
As the Kata-Karon Council is now reconsidering their decision at the Governor's request, Fridae will evaluate several alternatives with the help of the Governor's office in view of the possibility that Karon Stadium may not be a feasible venue for Nation.
Gay activists in Australia organise rallies nationwide to protest year-old Marriage Amendment Act which defines marriage as strictly heterosexual. Meanwhile, South Australian MP Mark Brindal has officially withdrawn from the March state election after it was revealed he was secretly bisexual; and more.
Faisal Alam, founder of Al-Fatiha, warns against the gay media's failure to accurately report on stories which fuels growing Islamaphobia and hatred towards Islamic world; and urges gays and lesbians to view the queer liberation movement through a broader lens of social justice and human rights.
Gays and lesbians in Singapore celebrate "IndigNation" as the Australian govt on Monday warned its citizens that they could face imprisonment if they are caught having gay sex in the city-state. Elsewhere, the California Supreme Court ruled that businesses must recognise registered same-sex couples and in Australia, a gay man is challenging the legality of a ban on gay blood donors.
Fridae speaks to Dr Tan Chong Kee, Singapore's best-known figure in civil society activism, about his upcoming talk on Aug 2 which challenges the notion that same-sex love is contrary to Asian values.

Looking for a boyfriend, possibly a life partner. Applications welcome. I'm someone who believes in clearly expressing your charm. I know what I want. I enjoy mornings that start with espresso and conversations with substance. I'm looking for an ambitious and kind man, confident but not arrogant, witty but not one who turns every date into an open mic night. But at least Wi-Fi, mature in all aspects of relationships, and able to cook a real meal. I'm not looking for perfection—just honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to eat. In return, I offer loyalty, a humor, and genuine listening skills—plus someone who actually reads your messages, not just the first line. Serious applicants only. Passion is required. Tax returns are not mandatory.
