Hafidz Baharom, a Malay-Muslim social commentator comes out as gay in a column in The Malaysian Insider, in support of Azwan Ismail whose appearance in a It Gets Better video sparked furore in the predominantly Muslim country.
Following recent reports that the Islamic Development may take stern action against Azwan Ismail who came out in a YouTube video, a spokesperson now says the organisation has "no power to take legal action."
Spearheaded by Otto Fong, a former teacher who made the news headlines in 2007 when he came out as gay on his blog, this video is described as a "gift for GLBT youths from the GLBT community in Singapore."
Pang Khee Teik, one of Malaysia's most recognisable sexuality rights activists, shares his journey from being a schoolboy in Singapore who was often bullied by his classmates to undergoing reparative therapy at a church for 12 years to self-acceptance as a gay man.
Azwan Ismail’s video clip on YouTube has attracted over 140,000 views and a flurry of discussions online – a majority of which are negative including online death threats – since it was launched last Wednesday. Two new videos released this week features university student Kavidha and Pastor Joe Pang.
Seksualiti Merdeka's second video in a series of 15 features Azwan Ismail, an engineer, poet, writer and editor of LGBT anthology Orang Macam Kita who shares that although it had taken him a long time to come to terms with his sexuality, he can now say "Saya gay, saya OK. (I’m gay, I’m OK.)"

Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Parker. I hope I can meet more people through here, and I hope I can find someone older than me. I don't like people younger than me. Because he is mature and steady, he has deep social experience and rich knowledge and experience. In mature and steady men, they are rich in ideas, respect and trust, and will not be as conscious as young people. Don't let me pull you down. lf you are young and want to communicate with me, please keep mutual respect, trust and understanding.
