  11. I have just written a wiki article on Spartacus, Singapore's first gay sauna: http://the-singapore-lgbt-encyclopaedia.wikia.com/wiki/Spartacus_(Singapore_gay_sauna) Spartacus was Singapore's first gay sauna. It was set up in 1997 by pioneering, openly gay entrepreneur and impresario Max Lim. Before the 1990s, local homosexual men had to journey all the way to Bangkok, Thailand to experience the pleasures that gay bathhouses offered. The situation became more convenient in the early 1990s when an establishment called Ryu, meaning "dragon" in Japanese, opened in Taman Pelangi near the Pelangi Complex in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Hot on the heels of Ryu's overwhelming success in attracting huge crowds of both Singaporeans and Malaysians, another gay sauna called New Blue Boys opened at 104 A-B, Jalan Serampang, Taman Pelangi, 80400 Johor Bahru about a year later. Needless to say, there was intense rivalry and enmity between the two businesses, both fighting for a lucrative market from both sides of the border. Some Singaporean gay men would charter taxis in groups to traverse the causeway and experience what was sorely lacking at home. Savvy entrepreneurs like Max Lim realised the strong demand for such a facility locally. In 1997, probably via securing a bank loan for the initial investment outlay, he opened Singapore’s first gay sauna and named it Spartacus, after the famous Roman gladiator who was depicted to have a relationship with homosexual undertones in the eponymous Hollywood blockbuster movie starring Kirk Douglas. It was located, amusingly but unintentionally, at 69 South Bridge Road! The address was probably chosen partly because of its proximity to the well known nocturnal cruising areas of Hong Lim Park, the back alleys of Boat Quay and Raffles Place. Indeed, after exiting the sauna at night, patrons could conveniently hop over to one of the nearby open-air cruising hotspots for additional recreation. The sauna could be recognised immediately from its external façade because of its colossal signage, garish colour scheme and especially the painted sketches of nude gladiators and the mythological Greek figures of Laocoön and his sons on its external wall facing South Bridge Road, near its junction with North Canal Road. One amusing feature was the infamous sign on the front door of the building which read, "Entry by the rear"! This policy was presumably instituted by the proprietor to prevent the ingress of unsuspecting pedestrians who may accidentally wander into the premises and be shocked by what they see. However, when the disco was operational at night, patrons could enter and exit by the front. Entrance was by membership only, with a card issued upon payment of an annual subscription. In addition, an entrance fee was also required to be paid for each visit even after becoming a member. Spartacus aimed to be a scaled-down version of the mega-bathhouse complex, Babylon, in Bangkok and comprised three storeys of hedonism with a daily gay disco on the ground floor fringed by an overhead observation deck, showers, a gym and sauna in the levels above it. It had an open space on the rooftop, furnished with several long benches for lying down and lush, large potted plants. Members could sunbathe there and tan in the nude if they wished. There were no structures to completely obscure sunbathers from the outside, but the nearest tall building from which office workers could catch a glimpse of the men was hundreds of metres away so there were no complaints from the public. There was also a rooftop bar which operated only at night because it was too hot during the daytime. It was strict about sex at first to avoid complaints and harassment by the police who would make periodic visits. Prominent signs were displayed which read “No obscene acts allowed”. But the rule was gradually relaxed and the signs removed after everyone realised that the police did not intrude and intentionally seek to nab patrons who indulged in carnal pleasure with one another. Lim experimented with the innovative concept of giving members the option of buying shares in the business. Spartacus also pioneered services like offering upmarket buffet meals in the lounge on the second floor. Unfortunately, demand for the meals, as well as the disco, was poor and these particular sections had to be closed down after less than a year due to their unprofitability and waste of space and manpower. The spa facilities, however, were a resounding success. Sauna goers were more interested in partaking of the sybaritic activities than in eating the relatively pricey food, even though it was catered and prepared by an experienced cook. To expand its clientele, Lim resorted to holding lesbian nights on the ground-floor disco on Thursdays. This juxtaposition of lesbian and gay men in common spaces occasionally took on comical overtones - people on the second storey were visible to patrons on the dance floor as there was no concrete ceiling to completely separate the first from the second level, only a peripheral, narrow encircling corridor. So, some lesbians dancing on the ground floor were shocked to see men clad only in towels walking around on level 2, a sight they had never encountered before. Another novelty were the drag shows featuring lip-synching song items and comedy on the ground floor and in the lounge on level 2, held every Friday and Saturday night. Several patrons who would go on to become drag performers themselves in later years made it a point to catch these shows hosted by Max Lim himself. These performances would spur him to organise more such events at Stroke sauna, the successor to Spartacus, in which Lim would sometimes appear in drag himself and, later still, to set up the more official Chinatown Cabaret which advertised its elaborate drag revues online and which was sited on the ground floor of Raw sauna, Lim's third gay spa project. One particularly intrepid endeavour were the free striptease shows held on the second floor lounge in which Lim hired cute boys to dance and peel off their clothes in a sexy manner while weaving in and out of the seated audience, occasional brushing their bodies lightly against the friendlier-looking members. These were probably the first instances of male striptease acts in Singapore, although the boys only stripped to their underwear to avoid running afoul of the law. A regular visitor to Spartacus was a Jewish-American, late middle-aged expatriate named Sam, who, several years later, opened his own gay sauna called Club One-Seven located nearby at Upper Circular Road. Despite its initial popularity, Spartacus' patronage gradually declined. The entire business closed down in late July 1999 due to high rental costs, amongst other factors. Almost a year later, Lim amassed sufficient resources to open his second gay sauna called Stroke along Ann Siang Road.

  15. I'll turn 24 this year. 24/78/181 Chi if you are picturing, and I've never been in love, nor even know how it's like to love, or loved, or be in love. I'm proud of my own sexuality and wouldn't even call myself discreet. I used to have a lot of friends from my college, but graduation happens and people no longer stay in touch. Then I thought to myself, to really put myself out and look for friends, start slow and maybe eventually I'll find buddies that I can hangout with for coffee during the weekend and to do things that I like together. Fingers crossed, maybe even a boyfriend. Jack'd, Grindr, Blued, Growlr, Tinder, Hornet, Planet Romeo, etc, all channels. I will always tweak my profile to attract views and chats, and also increase the possibility of getting reply when I approach someone. I wasn't looking for sex, 'friends, networking, ltr' was my reply when asked what am I seeking. I'm always envious towards those people at my age, in a nice relationship or at least once loved, or have some gay friends that they can hang out with, or even a regular person that has a friend that they can do things together. I'm tired and wish that I never had to eat alone everyday, travel alone, and spend my weekend alone. In one year alone, I've chatted with more than 100 people, no kidding. Met about 30+ people. But all with a single outcome, they're all strangers now. They either stop replying altogether, or met once and never talk to each other again, as much as we are 'clicking' before meeting up. Or a large fraction would eventually lead the conversation to sex and asking to send pics of my body part. I am dead alone, bored and hope to have a friend that I could comfortable talk without eventually talking about sex and my body. There are some good ones at least, but the conversation didn't live longer than 2 weeks as much as I show my interest to know about each other and shared about my life and show concern, sincerity and all. Or some that would meet me and we probably had the best quality chat ever, but never make it to the second date. Eventually, seeing how awful the gay world is, and how terrible the gay community, I told myself that there is no such thing as friendship and there's no more love left in this circle. I managed to convinced myself that I no longer believe in love, as much as others said 'you haven't met the one yet', which I think is a total lie, because I've met more than 100 and I can't even get a friend, not even one. Seeing these, I mostly seek for fun and casual sex these days, but it was never or hardly about satisfying my sexual desire, because I'm not that much of a sexual person. Having sex with people, is almost like a way that I have some human interaction; to hug or know how it's like to be hugged; to be touched and actually wanted or desired; to have or understand something that is close enough to love; and it's what everyone in the gay circle wants anyway--sex. I still have no friends to find on weekend, but at least I'm able to find men that are willing to have fun with me. I enjoy the warm hug and being held tight, feels like I'm being cared and taken off, that I'm not alone for a while. The funny part is that I thought by changing my perspective and stop believing in friends and ltr in this circle, I will be happy and stop all the wishy-washy of stupid dreams of finding friends in the gay world. No more hoping for a boyfriend because love doesn't exist, no more trying to find or make a friend because it's not going to happen in the gay community, it was the right mindset that I needed before I get hurt every time I have to say--off he goes. Except it didn't. As proud I am to have so many guys cruising me, and guys messaging me when I'm available for hookup, I didn't find any happiness in it, almost wishing that I'm dead already, but I guess it beats loneliness. And right now, it got me asking fellow BWs out here, how do you keep on going? Because sometimes I find living in this cruel gay world as a lonely gay dude, it's a living hell.
  16. Three gay men living together in a three-way relationship explain how it works How they met, how they make it work, and how their families have reacted to the arrangement Photo supplied L-R: Louis, Sam and David with their dog, Brusky 12 March 2016 by David Hudson Triad; Threesome; Polyamorous relationship: Whatever you wish to call it, real-life examples of three men living and sleeping with one another in committed relationships remain pretty rare. Although many people may have dabbled with sex with more than one person at the same time, actually committing one’s self to two others is considered far from the norm. However, it’s that concept of ‘the norm’ that soon gets turned on its head when you meet Louis, David and Sam. The three men (who have asked GSN not use their surnames) have been in a committed three-way relationship for the past year. I ring the buzzer of their apartment in North London with some apprehension. I’ve interviewed many gay couples in the past but this is my first ‘thruple’ (as Sam refers to them). I wanted to ask some pretty personal questions: Would they be shy? Would they get offended? I needn’t have worried. Sat side-by-side on a sofa – relaxed, jovial and talkative – they immediately put me at ease. They also laugh. A lot. Transcribing my interview afterwards was a challenge in picking out the words through the guffaws and gentle ribbing of each other. Louis and David met Same (center) at a London club night in 2015 ‘When people think of threesomes,’ said Sam, playing with Brusky, their Chocolate Labrador, ‘they immediately think raunchiness and sex. Then they meet us and spend time with us and quickly say, “This all seems really normal”.’ It’s true. I very quickly regard them as one unit, in the same way I might view a couple as their own, distinct entity: Individuals, yet bonded. David, 54, and Louis, 47, have been together for seven years. Louis heralds from Hong Kong but had been living in the UK. He’d been due to return to Asia, but those plans changed when he met David – originally from Israel. They quickly moved in with one another and threw themselves into building a life together in London. Around a year ago, they mutually decided that they would look around for a third person. ‘We came to a bit of a hold in our relationship,’ says David. They were still committed to one another and were planning on marrying, but they decided to entertain the idea of allowing someone else to join them. Whether this was a semi-regular ‘friend with benefits’ or something more was undecided. ‘We’d been monogamous. And then we started looking for other encounters,’ says Louis. They experimented with threesomes, but, says David, ‘something was missing. It wasn’t really working for me.’ ‘I wasn’t looking for a couple. It was the last thing I wanted.’ Then they met Sam, aged 28. It was at London bears night, Brut. They gave Sam a ride home that night and arranged to meet up again a week later. It was Sam’s first experience of a threesome – and they all immediately hit it off. They very quickly fell into hanging out with one another. ‘It was very much like dating,’ says Sam, reflecting on those early days. ‘I wasn’t looking for a couple. It was the last thing I wanted. I wanted a monogamous relationship. That’s all I ever wanted, really.’ David and Louis say that finding Sam was a surprise. Not only was he younger than they were planning (‘We thought we’d find a guy in his 40s – but you don’t choose who you get along with,’ says David), he was also not shy of staking his own space in an established relationship. ‘I made it clear very soon, it was all or nothing,’ says Sam, signaling he wasn’t willing to take a ‘junior’ role and was not looking to be just ‘fuck buddies’. ‘I gave them that choice and they chose,’ says Sam. Fortunately, they all wanted the same thing; to be together; Sam duly moved in within four weeks. The first few weeks were marked by uncertainties and insecurities Despite a shared aim, the early months were far from plain sailing. ‘It was very messy,’ emphasizes Louis. ‘There’s a lot of jealousy and a lot of having to adjust. Everyone’s looking out to see if they’re missing out on attention or affection. There were a lot of arguments in the early days. ‘It was,’ he chuckles, ‘a bit of a mind-fuck!’ This is where it sounds a little different from a more conventional relationship – which can begin with a honeymoon period and evolve into rows and bickering. The three of them say that the first few weeks were marked by uncertainties and insecurities, often leading to outbursts of emotion. ‘We had to quickly adapt a whole new, very different dynamic,’ says Louis of his relationship with David. ‘And then we both had to work out our relationships with Sam,’ adds David. ‘Testing each others boundaries, working out someone’s limits, it’s all part of being in a new relationship with someone, but it’s more intense and complicated when there are three of you.’ The three men live together in North London The men decided to initially pledge themselves to staying together for three months; not bail out, whatever arguments arose. This gave them the space to be open and honest with one another, reasonably safe in the knowledge that nothing anyone said would lead to someone else throwing in the towel. After the first three months, they committed to six months. After six months, they say things became much easier. It may have helped that they also moved into a new apartment, which they redesigned around their new relationship: One very big bed for them all to sleep in, three large wardrobes and a big shower unit with enough space for them all. Louis works in IT, Sam is a video producer and David works in education and is training to be a counselor. They say their relationship is helped by the fact they have shared interests. They all love photography and filmmaking, and have turned one room into a studio and creative workspace. They’re also, as you might guess, regular gym buddies. ‘And we do have a lot of sex,’ laughs Sam – but only with each other. They all agreed early on that they would be ‘monogamous’ to the relationship. At first, they decided to only have sex as a threesome. Now, they tend to have sex together, but also sometimes pair off. ‘My daughter, who is 30, was unsure at first when she found out’ They’re not ashamed or embarrassed about their chosen relationship. In fact, they’re refreshingly matter-of-fact. They even have a joint Instagram profile. Work colleagues and friends are aware, although breaking the news to wider family has not been easy. ‘Some family members know. My daughter, who is 30, was unsure at first when she found out,’ says David. ‘She was thinking ahead as to how she might explain it to her children.’ ‘But she’s come around now,’ says Sam. ‘She invited us all to her wedding in January, and we all went and it was all fine – it was really nice.’ Sam is from the UK, but of Middle Eastern descent. Being openly gay is not easy, but he’s long since decided that the closet was not an option for him. Telling his mother about his two new boyfriends was – as you may imagine – more difficult. ‘She didn’t take it well,’ he admits. ‘I think at first she was horrified at me taking up with these two older guys. She thought they were just going to use and abuse me and take advantage. However, she came around. She met them and realized they are nice guys. ‘We spent Christmas with her and it was all fine. I can actually leave these two with her and go out and not have to worry – she likes them.’ ‘Your mother completely surprised us,’ says Louis. ‘She’s been OK and has made a really great effort and she is lovely.’ Louis says that his brother and sister know about the arrangement and are OK about it, but that it’s not something he feels inclined to raise with other family members in Hong Kong, who would be unlikely to react with the same acceptance. What of the future? Threesomes, when they exist, don’t have a good reputation for lasting. Is that a concern? ‘Any relationship faces challenges and couples often split up. Who knows what will happen,’ shrugs David. ‘Yes, Sam is younger, and I was very, very worried that our relationship might stop him from enjoying life or he would feel restricted so we promised him, any time he wants to go, any time he feels he’s missing out, he can go. In ten years time I’ll be 64, and he’ll only be 38….’ he trails off. ‘I hear this all the time!’ laughs Sam, rolling his eyes, and indicating it’s a discussion that has come up previously. ‘I don’t feel that I need anything more. Even though I’m quite young, I’m definitely relationship-oriented. This is good. I don’t need a thousand different experiences of sleeping with other people. This works.’ At the end of the day, isn’t that what matters? For now, for these three men, it works, so who is anyone else to judge? ‘Before we were a couple. Now it feels like this is my family,’ says David, looking over with affection and pride at Sam and Louis. David (left): ‘Before we were a couple. Now it feels like this is my family.’ ‘There are certain rules of behavior that should be agreed between all three parties’ And would they have any advice for anyone else thinking of opening up their relationship or exploring the same sort of three-way arrangement? ‘Talk about everything,’ says David. ‘If something is on your mind, bring it up.’ ‘You need to set rules,’ adds Louis. We made rules and then re-made them. Keep talking about things. There are certain rules of behavior and conduct that should be agreed between all three parties. And they should be maintained. ‘Also, if someone else is going to join the relationship, they really have to be worth it and they must be pretty easy-going,’ he adds. ‘It’s definitely not for everyone,’ adds David. ‘But it’s never boring!’ laughs Sam.
  17. When You Are Old, Chinese, and Gay Gay, lesbian, and bisexual retirees seek companionship and acceptance in old age, but some find it harder than others. Fan Yiying Jan 04, 2017 Zhang Guowei, a 76-year-old bisexual veteran, is relishing his twilight years. “I couldn’t be happier with my life post-retirement,” says Zhang, who was a doctor in the army until 1994. As a former military officer, Zhang’s monthly pension is 10,000 yuan ($1,440) — five times the average pension in Changde, the small city in central China’s Hunan province where he lives with his boyfriend. Zhang divorced his wife in 2003 and met the love of his life — Wu, who is 40 years younger — a year later on the internet. “I expect him to accompany me through the remainder of my life,” Zhang tells Sixth Tone after finishing his daily exercise routine. Zhang says he is bisexual but prefers men. He gained support and understanding from his ex-wife and two daughters when he came out to them in 2003. When he passes on, his assets will be divided equally among his daughters and his boyfriend. “My kids have no problem sharing with Wu because they know he is the one taking care of me in my final years,” he says. The May-December couple have been living together since 2005 in an apartment provided by the government for retired army cadres and their families. The 10-story building houses a dozen veterans in their 60s through 90s, some living alone and others with their spouses. When Wu first moved in, Zhang told his neighbors that Wu was his gan erzi, or adopted son, whom he met online. (The Chinese concept of gan erzi allows for a sort of informal adoption of adults, with no legal or religious implications.) “I had this vague idea that they might be gay,” says 74-year-old Lu Shize, who lives downstairs. “But it’s none of my business to ask about his private life,” Lu adds. Being gay or not, it doesn’t change the way I see him. We are in our 70s; what’s more important than being happy and healthy? - Lu Shize, 74-year-old retired cadre Last year, following in other veterans’ footsteps, Zhang wrote a 218-page autobiography — including his experiences of recognizing his sexuality — and shared it with his fellow cadres. His neighbors were very understanding. “Everyone knows about us, and no one gossips or gives us a hard time,” Zhang says. Lu, who had never before met any out gay or bisexual men, says he admires Zhang’s courage. “Being gay or not, it doesn’t change the way I see him,” Lu says. “We are in our 70s; what’s more important than being happy and healthy?” China’s population is rapidly aging. The proportion of the population aged 60 or older was more than 16 percent at the end of 2015, according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and that number is only set to increase. The nation’s changing demography brings with it challenges for managing welfare and health care, especially as fewer seniors are able to count on their families for support. Two older men hold a symbolic wedding ceremony in Beijing, Jan. 30, 2013. ChinaFotoPress/VCG Decades of family-planning restrictions mean that even seniors who have children often must become self-reliant, as children born during the one-child policy can’t afford to support two parents and four grandparents. As a result, for many elders, being childless is no longer a major concern or an unusual occurrence. Wen Xiaojun, 56, is single and childless. Immediately after he retired in November from working as a civil servant, he rented an apartment in Sanya, on the southern island of Hainan, where he is spending six months avoiding the cold of his hometown in the eastern province of Zhejiang. “I still feel young and restless,” Wen tells Sixth Tone. “Being childless makes it easy for me to travel after retirement.” Like other older people, LGBT seniors want to have rich, fulfilling, and independent lives. They hope that retirement will give them the opportunity to focus on what they truly love. Wen enjoys his slow-paced life in Sanya. He goes to exhibitions, takes walks along the beach, plays volleyball with locals, and sometimes meets up with men he contacts through Blued — a popular gay social app, on which he hopes to find a long-term boyfriend. But dating isn’t easy for older gay men. “Younger generations can build a relationship quickly by kissing or having sex soon after they meet offline,” Wen explains. “But we want something more spiritual and stable.” Similarly, 62-year-old Ah Shan, as he’s called within the gay community, says that finding a partner is his biggest problem these days. His finances are secure, as he owns his apartment in Guangzhou — capital of southern China’s Guangdong province — and receives a monthly pension of about 5,000 yuan, but he has been single for four years and is ready for that to change. In the meantime, he is renting out one of his bedrooms to gay friends so he has some company at home. Ah Shan poses for a picture in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, 2013. Courtesy of Ah Shan Most gays, lesbians, and bisexuals of Ah Shan’s generation knew little about their sexual orientation until internet access became available at the turn of the millennium. Even when Ah Shan was working in the U.S. in the late 1980s, he refused to consider himself gay because the only information he’d heard about gay topics in China was AIDS-related or implied that homosexuality was shameful or immoral. “I think I was brainwashed,” Ah Shan laughs. Over the last two years, Ah Shan has been working on a gay oral history project, recording the stories of older gay men in Guangzhou. He has talked to more than 60 gay men aged from 60 to 90, who have experienced some of China’s most critical historic moments, from the Cultural Revolution to the nation’s opening-up era. “If we don’t record them now, part of the important history of LGBT in China will be gone,” he says. Many of the men are married and choose not to come out to their families. “They go to this particular park to chat with other gay men in the daytime to release their emotions, but when the sun goes down, they have to return home to bear their family responsibilities,” Ah Shan says with a sigh. Ah Shan’s own parents passed away before he was brave enough to tell them the truth. His mother died in 2000, a year before homosexuality was declassified as a mental illness in China. Compared with gay and bisexual men, older women find it even more difficult to disclose or discuss their sexual orientation. Since 2010, 45-year-old Yu Shi from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, has been working on an oral history project for older same-sex-attracted women across China, but she says the process of locating participants and persuading them to share their stories is tough. “Chinese women are in a weak position in the family, which doesn’t allow them to speak out for themselves,” Yu says, adding that of the 30 or so lesbians who have taken part in the project over the last six years, only one has come out to her family. Many won’t divorce their husbands even if they have female partners. “Chinese people are very concerned with saving face, and they think it’s a loss of face to get a divorce if you’re already a grandparent,” she says. Yu and her 40-year-old girlfriend have lived together for over a decade, but despite their enduring, loving relationship, they can’t enjoy the security of a formal union, as same-sex marriage is not yet legal in China. Some issues can be resolved by making a will, but others — like legal or medical power of attorney — remain a problem. According to Yu, some LGBT seniors who are single and childless have considered building their own retirement estate where they can live together and take care of one another. Although they aren’t opposed to regular nursing homes, Yu says “they prefer to live in a place where they can open their hearts and share their experiences with others in the same circumstances.” A lesbian couple kiss each other during an event in Shanghai, Dec. 22, 2013. Sun Zhan/Sixth Tone As more and more seniors live separately from their children, retirement facilities in China have struggled to meet growing demand. The government encourages investment in privately owned nursing homes, but so far none have been established exclusively for members of sexual minority groups. Little public attention is given to the needs of older LGBT people, but to Wang Anke, a 50-year-old bisexual woman from Beijing, these individuals don’t do enough to stand up for themselves, either. “We are almost invisible,” she says. Wang married her husband in 1990 and plans to spend the rest of her life with him. Though Wang considers herself happy and fortunate, she says that most older lesbian and bisexual women she knows are pessimistic about their senior years. “They’re lonely and lack emotional care,” Wang says, adding that many would rather live alone than move into a nursing home where they fear they can’t be themselves. “Loneliness will go to the grave with them.” But while some LGBT seniors advocate dedicated nursing homes, Ah Shan opposes the idea of separate services. “In the long run, LGBT people shouldn’t lock ourselves in a so-called safe place,” he says. “What we really need is for the overall environment to allow us to live comfortably in the community.” (Header image: Moments/VCG)
  18. this is for u to share on differences between eg saunas in HK v those in msia differences btween men and women and of course including all time fav topics ie straight versus gay so that we can one-look spot n discuss all differences, don't have to open a thread to discuss differences of tenants from various occupations or ctries I think BW, space is getting really very very limited, so much info all around, and people tend to re create a new discussion each day(I m guilty of that)
  19. http://postimg.org/image/s77n3ojzf/ Here is a politically incorrect diagram of gayness. It is flawed because it's subjective and based on the value judgments of ONE person, so take it with a pinch of salt, maybe two. Many would disagree with the classification of certain celebrities, but I don't think you'll move them up or down more than one scale anyway. Sorry for the limited examples, you can fill in more yourself. Feel free to state where you think you stand and which scale best describes your ideal partner. You may shout "discrimination" all you want at PinkDot this weekend so do save your energy.

  21. Many friends were thinking go taking up monkhood, to be away from the worldly desires. While checking around, we realised that in Singapore, no temples accept gay to be monks nor any monastic novices programs. Buddha did not condem any orientation of gay, lesbian or transgender, but why all most temples here putting such a declaration ? In'st the universal door of mercy opens for all ? It seems that China / Thailand, Myanmar and overseas are more receptive.
