Openly discriminatory policies, anti-LGBT laws and censorship from the media regulator. But this doesn’t really affect day to day living as an LGBT if you choose to brush that aside. If you’re foreigner you’ll be perfectly fine. It’s certainly better than some neighboring countries.

SG: Toxic because it's a huge superficial image / sex game, and feels like you have no social currency if you don't have the bod. But overall it's possible to feel very free and open as long as you surround yourself with the right folks and maybe are not huge on PDA. I'm living my best gayest life here though sometimes I do reflect on how it's affected my sense of self worth and mental health

I agree. So toxic. Not a place for those with self-esteem problems. I am having problems myself.

Thanks BCG1. Any insights on gay life in Malaysia or China (mainland)?

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?
