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)?

One of my good friends is not very cautious with her approach to COVID and it's made me pretty uncomfortable, so I recently decided I don't want to risk seeing her in person anymore. I thought I could just decline invites to meet up, but she's getting persistent. Is there a polite way to tell her the truth without coming off as judgmental? She can certainly make her own decisions; I just don't want to put myself at risk by meeting up.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

Question for the bowl. Recruiter arranged an interview with a local legal firm for an Office Manager role next week. On paper everything looks great, but the firm has a reputation as being as "ambulance chasers" and for only hiring "good looking young people." I'm really not sure that I would fit in with that work culture. I will go in with an open mind, but If I start to get the vibe that it isn't the place for me, at what point should you just end the interview early?

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️
