Repeal it… Repeal it… Aye Aye Aye… God we can’t get that rap out of our mind, can we?

When you are hearing this episode, we will appear to be super outdated, because this was recorded before NMP Siew Kum Hong had read out the repeal 377A petition in parliament.

Anyway, we will still be talking about his issue in the perspective within the community. Apparently, not everyone gay supports the repeal of the gay sex law, and we explore the reasons why, and how they might be wrong in encouraging discrimination to get rights based on the Grey area tainted and highlighted by P377A in the Singapore law.

We are so glad this week to officially welcome Emeric Lau, our new host of QueerCast into the team! Together with our ever-so-fabulous Ian Lee, they really do make a really chemistry-filled couple!

Again, so many things had been happening over the past weeks. Otto Fong, no-repeal of gay sex law (377A), and the NTU survey that was reported out of context by Singapore’s No. 1 selling print newspaper, The Straits Times.

In case you haven’t read the actual survey paper yet, the survey focuses on public attitudes on gay characters depicted in films, and not real life people like your friends, or gay people within the society. Of course, we did not have enough information when we were recording this episode until we read the official paper that can be found here: http://www.mit.edu/%7Emaiyifan/ntusurvey.pdf

If you do not want to read the entire survey, here’s something easy to take-away. The title of the survey is: “SINGAPOREANS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD LESBIANS AND GAY MEN AND THEIR TOLERANCE OF MEDIA PORTRAYALS OF HOMOSEXUALITY“. Food for thought? Thanks to a certain ST reporter for such fine neutrality and honesty in this report.
