Ok i wish u good luck on that. Let's hope everything wraps up nicely between u n ur family.

When is the next gaythering?

Aww thanks!

Sadly we decided to suspend them until further notice because of the pandemic + the new conservative government. Next one supposed to be on late April.

If I may ask you still solat or not.

Gay can be cure you need to seek for it you know.Tell you I got a good friend from Sarawak, we were housemate back in college. He wore lipstick to class. Although unmarried until now and may be no interest, he look to find peace after becoming a practicing Muslim.

Hope no offence to you, I pray one day you become straight guy married and have kid.

In terms of faith I'm kinda agnostic right now so I don't really solat but my boyfriend does.

Different people have different interpretations of the religion. Some of my friends think homosexuality is not wrong in Islam including my boyfriend, hence still practising the "gay lifestyle" while fulfilling their religious obligations. There are increasing number of Islamic scholars supporting LGBT rights too like Amina Wadud for example.

Not planning to "become straight" anytime soon, so no offense taken.

I feel like the gay scene is more active than the lesbian scene. Or maybe I just don't know where to find my own kind cause of my faulty gaydar.

Sorry to pop the baloon. but islam needs to be interpreted according to the messenger of Allah message.
and LGBT even anal sex between married couple is unlawfull as its transgressed the nature of human.
not to mention certain interpretation of so called scholars or ulama that deviate further from the truth of quran and sunnah
and amina wadud the lady imam is to far away from the truth even the liberals muslims shies away.
its one thing to sinn but to propagate it and distort the teaching of the messenger and the Quran is another so please stop.

Are you lesbian? Yeah, I have the same observation but I always thought because I'm living in the gay bubble. Lesbians tend to be pretty chill in general right? So maybe that's why haha.

I'm not propagating anything— merely answering a question from an Internet stranger in a thread about LGBT. Clearly we are on a different ideological spectrum so I suggest we just agree to disagree.

Yea...Nah you're not in a bubble. More like they are in the bubble cause you can't find where they are. I wish they surface more so I know where to find them. So if anyone of you is reading this please come out to play. Haha.

I'm pretty chill but I can't speak for the rest of them.

Now people find someone to have sex or find partner thru Blued/Grindr/Jackd etc.

Going to Tasik Permaisuri/ Tasik Kelana Jaya is so last season.

And btw Tasik Kelana Jaya is no longer safe. Pegawai penguatkuasa selalu buat rondaan dekat situ.

Yeah even the public toilets there got warning for gays not to engage in homosexual acts or risk getting charged.

But I get it-- some people love the thrill of it. Plus no chance of getting catfished too.

Wow. Saying "no offence" but also "gay can be cured".
Gay, lesbian, transgender, all are not a disease to be cured!

Gender of the soul is a spectrum. Just like other kinds of
human soul conditions. Biologically, there are even hermaphrodites,
those with both sexual organs (in arabic termed khunsa). And some have bigger clits, or small penis, and so on. It is all A SPECTRUM. COLORFUL. My advice to you is to start accepting the COLORS of human beings and stop seeing human as black and white. To me, you are the disease that needs to be cured. Nuff said.

With your username and avatar, it might be hard for some to take your post seriously

Yea unfortunately. But I am dead serious.
My username just what i had stuck in my mind when created the account.

Singapore gay sex ban: Court rejects appeals to overturn law
Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52098362



A bid to overturn a law that criminalises gay sex in Singapore has been dismissed by a court, dealing a blow to the city state’s LGBT movement.

The high court rejected appeals by three gay men who had argued the colonial-era law was unconstitutional.

The presiding judge said the law was "important in reflecting public sentiment and beliefs" in Singapore.

Under Section 377A, men found guilty of homosexual acts in public or private can be jailed for up to two years.

Speaking outside court, a lawyer for one of the complainants, M Ravi, said he was “very disappointed” by the ruling.

"It's shocking to the conscience and it is so arbitrary,” he said.

The legal challenges were the latest attempts to repeal Section 377A, after an effort by a gay couple in 2014 was rejected by the Court of Appeal.

But the LGBT rights movement in Singapore regained momentum after India’s decision to scrap similar legislation in 2018 renewed hopes for reform.

Singapore's authorities rarely enforce Section 377A, first introduced in 1938 by British colonial rulers.

But Singapore’s leaders, including its current prime minister, have refused to remove it, saying it reflects the conservative mores of the city state’s society.

In Monday’s judgement, the court echoed that sentiment, saying non-enforcement of the law against consensual gay sex in private did not render it redundant.

The court concluded the law was constitutional because it did not violate articles regarding equality and freedom of speech.

The latest attempt to overturn the law was spearheaded by three people: a retired doctor, a DJ and an LGBT rights advocate.

One of the men told Reuters news agency he was disappointed by the ruling, adding “my eyes are firmly on the road ahead”.

Currently 70 countries criminalise same-sex relations.

RESPONSE TO THE “KEBAHAGIAAN RUMAHTANGGA” SERIES OF POSTERS BY THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN, FAMILY & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Source: https://www.klbar.org.my/response-kebahagia...ty-development/



The Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee’s Gender Equality and Diversity Committee is appalled by the recent messaging posted by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development on their “Kebahagiaan Rumahtangga” series. Instead of carrying out the purpose and role in empowering our women, the messaging supports gender inequality and robs our women of their basic human right to be treated equal in our society.

The posters depict negative gender stereotypes against our women and men. It portrays that our women alone, are responsible for the daily domestic chores in a household. It suggests that women need to be calm and patient when faced with verbal and emotional abuse. It implies that women are naggers and are the ones that must take proactive steps to breathe and become calm and rational, not to mention the use of words and gestures purportedly to pamper and pacify our men. It illustrates men being nonchalant and ignorant about their role as equal partners and more so that men can choose whether they wish to participate in their relationship and household chores, if coaxed gently. All in all, the posters place our women in a subordinate position beneath their male spouses. It also chooses to ignore the serious issue of domestic violence that many of our women face, more so during the MCO.

Gender equality is a fundamental human right that is essential for the sustainable development of our country. Empowering our women spurs productivity and economic growth. Language plays a vital role in shaping cultural and social attitudes towards promoting gender equality and eradicating gender bias.

Sadly, the language and images used by our Ministry for Women, Family and Community Development is far from gender neutral. It does not have the best interest of our women at heart. It fails to see both men and women as equal partners. The negative messaging shows an unconscious bias mindset of the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development which puts our women at the lower end of society. This way of thinking does not promote growth and development of a healthy future society, instead it is the root of gender inequality and breeds discrimination and violence against women. In short, the Minister of the Ministry for Women, Family and Community Development has failed us.

We, the Kuala Lumpur Bar, therefore call upon the Minister of the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, YB Rina Harun to step down. We also urge the government of the day to take steps to reform this Ministry to ensure that the interests of our women and girls are protected.

‘Two gay men forced to hide our identities to make our voices heard’: Malaysian LGBT podcast hosts on being queer in a conservative society
Source: https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainmen...make-our-voices

• Hosts of Kunyit Squared, an LGBT-themed podcast in socially conservative Malaysia, explore what it means to be gay in a country where homosexuality is illegal
• The duo, who remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, talk about their hopes for the future

“One episode that stands out to this day involved an interview with a person who participated in chemsex,” the Malaysian podcast host known as J says when asked about memorable moments from the Kunyit Squared podcast, which has now lasted for two seasons.

“Hearing about their experiences was profound. It solidified my belief that while chemsex [having sex while under the influence of drugs] is addictive, people won’t stop if they are told to not do drugs.”

Fellow host V adds that even though chemsex is mainly an issue in the gay community, the lessons apply to anyone who wishes to understand drug addiction.

V and J – the pair have never revealed their full names out of fear of repercussions – launched Kunyit Squared in 2018 as the first podcast in Malaysia dealing the with the gay experience.

“The gay experience is multifaceted and is pretty wild behind closed doors,” V told the Post. “In the beginning we wanted to normalise these experiences, but then we realised we also had a platform to raise awareness about serious issues such as HIV and sexism on dating apps.”



Malaysia’s LGBT community faces widespread prejudice, and one slur in particular has been propagated on social media: kunyit. The word traditionally refers to the orange spice turmeric, but has evolved into a term describing gay people.

However, J and V have reclaimed the slur and refer to themselves as The Kunyits. Recording a podcast allowed the two men to conceal their identities and maintain the anonymity of their guests, as homosexuality is criminalised in Malaysia and the act of sodomy is banned under the penal code and the Syariah Criminal Offences Act 1997 penalising homosexual lifestyle and activities.



Malaysia’s two most celebrated drag queens have appeared on Kunyit Squared. The podcast has helped promote Kuala Lumpur’s flourishing drag and party scene, including events such as Shagrilla and Berlin Is Burning (a tribute to the award-winning documentary on New York’s 1980s drag balls, Paris Is Burning).

Another notable guest has been gay comic artist Banana Gayllery, who produces satirical, thought-provoking and amusing sexcapades and criticisms of the gay community.

“After the recording, he was kind enough to draw us in one of his comics,” said V.

Although Malaysia is a mainly Muslim country and socially conservative, J believes that tolerance and acceptance of the queer community has improved in Kuala Lumpur, where drag parties and performances as well as safe spaces are becoming more popular.

Still, V believes that the government should decriminalise homosexuality to allow the queer community to lead normal and safe lives.

“I don’t see the LGBT community being fully accepted in Malaysia within my lifetime, but [I’m at] peace with that. Through the podcast, I hope we are leaving a legacy and helping make things better for future generations, then there will be documentation of what queer life was in Malaysia before their time,” he says.

Aside from the podcast, J and V partnered with Take Charge Today, an organisation promoting HIV prevention awareness, and published a crowdsourced zine, Kunyit Squared Vol. 1 featuring works under the theme of “kunyit”.

“There has to be a realisation that queer people are more than their sexual identities. I’m not just a gay man – I’m also a millennial, a consultant by profession, a son and a brother. There are so many other facets to my identity that define who I am.”

Gay couple asked to leave apartment because ‘homosexuals are first to get coronavirus’

A gay couple living in a quiet neighbourhood in Marseilles – which is on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic – have received a threatening letter asking them to leave their apartment building.

David, a 33-year-old caregiver, shared the note in a post on Facebook after his partner, an UberEats delivery man, found it attached to the windshield of his car on Thursday 26 March.

“Could you please leave the residence because we know that you homosexuals are the first to be contaminated by COVID-19,” the note read. “This is the first warning. Thank you.”

David told TÊTU he believes the letter was from a neighbour living in their building, who had previously filed a complaint against Muslim neighbours who had just married and played “oriental music”.

“I think he is a person without intelligence and education. I think this person is certainly religious and that he truly believes in what he says,” David said. “To say bullshit like that, you have to believe it.”

The two men say they went to their local police station to report the letter, but were told it was “not a threat but a warning” and were encouraged to file a police complaint, which would have no repercussions.

David shared the story to Facebook, where he received a “wave of support” and was eventually contacted by the LGBT team from Bordeaux Police, who said they would try to recover DNA or analyse the writing on the letter.

But David says he is feeling more vulnerable as a result of the letter.

“I look a little more behind me,” he explained. “My spouse has a strong character, he is rather hot-headed. I’m pretty calm. I wonder what it will be next time. Are they going to smash my car? Are they going to wait for me downstairs?”

He added: “I can understand that, psychologically, it is hard to be locked up at home, I think there are some who ‘crack’ a little, the bullshit comes out.

“Personally, I did not expect to receive a word like that about my sexuality. I had never faced homophobia in my life, I had never had the slightest thought.”

The story comes as some bigoted, conservative preachers around the world have blamed the coronavirus pandemic on the LGBTQ community and same-sex marriage.
