Dear all, thank you for taking your time to visit us.
We will not be updating this blog anymore.
We'll be updating our facebook page instead with our event's photos etc.
Do visit our facebook page and join the group!
Do check out the works that was done up by the youth of SGRainbow in this slideshow. Thanks to all the youth who participated in the project and to all the sponsors and organisers for Indignation 2009.
Dear All,
If you've realised above the pinkdot on the right hand corner of our webpage is a banner for IndigNation 2009. However, for the benefit of others, its above this post.
IndigNation is the GLBT pride season for Singapore which hosts events like book launches and also different exhibitions etc.
Whats the point of going you might ask?
Well, first off, being queer means something to all of us, but to the outside world, it might be a whole different genre altogether. And thus, supporting it means supporting yourself.
Secondly, its events held by different organisations like Sayoni.com and even sponsored by Fridae.com who have shaped the society at large in terms of sexual understanding.
Lastly, it is, to my opinion, something great to attend to reaffirm your own sexuality queries, not to mention, meet more people!
So, click on the following link to look at the events:
As an effort to be part of IndigNation 2009, SGRainbow is proud to present Bearspectives.
Bearspectives is an Art exhibition with a child-like twist. We have engaged a total of 11 people from all walks of life and not to forget, all sexualities to design a white clothed bear to their perspectives of what being gay means. So, hop on down to:
Venue: PLAY Club
Time: 0930pm
Dates: 13th, 14th, 15th August 2009
We hope for your support in this mini event!
To All,
There will be a series of articles by our own group of writers coming up soon!
Watch this space!
I Hate Being Gay - The Tyra Banks Show
The program begins by featuring one young man who finds being gay disgusting, he hopes to become "straight" by the age of 30 in hopes of having a family. He feels he can be emotionally attracted to women, but not as sexual as he would like to be.
The next clip shows a guy who feels very intimidated by gay men. Tyra sends him out to meet with some gay men and helps increase his confidence and he reported feeling better about his identity.
Following that a man is introduced who identifies as gay but has fallen in love with a woman and decided to marry her. The couple occasionally brings an additional man into the bedroom, and they are unsure as to whether their relationship will prevail.
Finally, the last man is conflicted about being gay because he also desires a family. On the request of his father, he attends an "ex-gay" seminar only to find out that it takes years and thousands of dollars and would only help to possibly supress his desires as opposed to change his orientation. He seems conflicted as to which path in life he will ultimately take.
