Singapore: Expectations of a gay son

Asia/Pacific

Broadcast – 21 February 2017

A popular Asian holiday destination for Australians, it has all of life’s mod-cons: great food, multi-cultural society, awesome shopping – and a ban on being gay. This is modern day Singapore.

• What are the cultural influences that keep Singapore’s gay population in the dark ages?
• How are LGBTIQ people seen in society and through the media?
• What is the influence of family in decisions of coming out?

We are joined in the studio by Alex and Kai – native Singaporeans now living in Melbourne.
