SGAPORE GAY TRAVEL

Gayhealth is a unique enty wh AfA that built self as a muny based anizatn, that wants to help improve the sexual health and servic to Gay/Bi/MSM muny through advocy and empowerment.

To keep up wh the ever evolvg needs of the gay muny, we overhled Sgapore’s pneerg and most prehensive Men-who-have-sex-wh-men (MSM) Programme (what a mouthful) to Wh one objective md: to achieve zero. If you are lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer, and/or intify as a sexual and/or genr mory and are lookg for LGBTQ+ affirmg doctors, physicians, clicians, and healthre provirs, you have e to the right place. While we believe gay travellers should be exced to vis this cy, ’s important to be aware of the suatn before travellg.

Unlike India, Sgapore has not ma the cisn to repeal this law, meang that unr Sectn 377A homosexualy remas illegal (technilly, the law says nothg about same-sex relatns between two women). Other parts of Sgapore’s Penal Co uld also potentially be terpreted to prosecute gay men, like sectn 354 on the ‘outrage of mosty’ or sectn 294A verg obscene acts public.

The media is even forbidn to promote “the glamorizatn of the homosexual liftyle” so the rare ocsn an LGBT character appears on TV they are portrayed as damaged and have to be ‘fixed’. While many members of the gay muny live their liv relatively unmolted, there is always a sense of a hammer wag to fall. Public opn has gradually swung towards slightly more tolerance towards same-sex relatnships or even gay marriage, although is still not overwhelmgly favour.

To be hont, spe the dire legal suatn for LGBT people Sgapore, ’s unlikely that gay travellers will be negatively affected. After dark there’s a thrivg gay scene and of urse there’s more than enough to do durg the day to keep all travellers – gay, straight, unirn – by and happy. It’s jt important to be aware that technilly homosexualy is illegal and so to be nsc of surroundgs and behavur public plac.

In and around Chatown is where most gay bars and clubs are based, so to feel totally ee and easy ’s a good ia to stay here or spend a lot of time here.

There are certaly a range of hotels that have got brilliant reviews om our gay iends – some high-end sophistitn, some cheap (for Sgapore) and cheerful.

Neil Road Chatown, known as ‘Pk Street’, has the only gay nightclub – Taboo – and an anizatn lled PLAY arrang gay takeover parti four or five tim a year.

Apart om this small nsiratn, gay people should be able to explore Sgapore whout any issu and take home some fabulo memori. When Sgapore announced this week would end a lonial-era law that crimalized sex between men, looked like a big victory for gay rights advot the Southeast Asian untry. Soon after announcg that nsensual gay sex would no longer be illegal, Prime Mister Lee Hsien Loong said his annual Augt rally speech that his ernment would “uphold and safeguard the stutn of marriage” – fed the Constutn as a unn between man and woman.

So while activists the LGBTQ (Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Queer) muny weled the repeal of the gay sex law, many were disappoted too. And that disappotment will only have epened wh the suggtn by some of Lee’s misters that not only would the ernment rema opposed to gay marriage – may even create extra hurdl to prevent people om seekg to challenge the marriage laws urt.

Law mister K Shanmugam said an terview wh state media that Parliament, rather than the urts, would hold the power to fe marriage – effectively makg harr for people to legally challenge the ernment’s polici as several gay men have attempted recent years.

As associate law profsor Eugene Tan of the Sgapore Management Universy put : “Sgapore removed a law long regard as beg discrimatory towards gay men. In 2012, Gary Lim and Kenh Chee, a gay uple who had been together for 15 years, challenged the law agast gay sex at Sgapore’s High Court. Here are a few other fantastic hotels and hostels for gay travelers Sgapore that are highly rated, affordable, and perfectly loted for explorg the cy.

And while ’s not as ostentat as the gay districts of big-time gay statns,  boasts a range of gay nightlife venu and LGBT-iendly tablishments. As I remend the sectns above, stayg anywhere the southern half of Sgapore’s Central Area will make super nvenient to accs the lol gay bars.

All male Sgaporean cizens and non-first generatn permanent rints, cludg homosexual, bisexual and male-at-birth transgenr dividuals, who have reached the age of 18 years are required to enroll for Natnal Service unr the Enlistment Act.

The way gay and transgenr servicemen are viewed and treated is largely pennt on the views of the ary thori who wre the nfintial manpower directiv which ern the management of the enliste even though the thori are advised by external, non-ary psychiatrists. Discrimatn exists bee even though the SAF do not regard homosexualy as a disease or mental illns requirg unsellg or therapy, is obliged to treat gay servicemen who clare their sexual orientatn differently bee, acrdg to some acunts, "homosexualy" and "transsexualism" are listed the outdated ICD-9 (Internatnal Classifitn of Diseas, 9th revisn), a medil classifitn system which is still beg ed by the SAF today.

It is perplexg why no SAF psychiatrist, psychologist or manpower officer wh cisn-makg thory has seen f to revamp the stat quo bee all ternatnal medil anisatns now regard homosexualy as a normal part of the spectm of human sexualy (see ma article: Internatnal medil thori' posn statements on homosexualy). For example, there are unsubstantiated reports blogs and onle foms that servicemen who profs a homosexual orientatn durg pre- or post-enlistment are reportedly nfed to “non-sensive” uns, but the fn of what nstut a “sensive” un is not spelt out.

Currently, is unknown how homosexual women are treated the ary and whether such practic are parable between the genrs; this is bee women are not subject to nscriptn and therefore make up a relatively small proportn of ary personnel. The protol for alg wh homosexualy is not publicly disclosed and no rmatn on sexual orientatn n be found on official webs lked to the Mistry of Defence (MINDEF) or the SAF.

MINDEF neher attends to requts to clarify s policy towards the ployment of homosexual soldiers, nor addrs personal narrativ on the Inter. The rmatn provid below is gleaned om what natnal servicemen have scribed on onle gay foms and articl and not excerpted om official documents. The part of PULHHEEMS which ncerns gay servicemen most wh regard to their sexualy is the 'M' which stands for 'mental functn'.

Once he clar his homosexualy the form, he is asked several cursory qutns by the doctor nductg the PULHHEEMS at the Medil Classifitn Centre like whether he has had sex wh other men and whether he cross-drs. The self-clared gay rec is then given a stat of PES D (temporarily unf for gradg and ployment, pendg further review) and schled for a medil review by an SAF psychologist, ually an officer wh the rank of pta, at a later date at an office the Psychologil Medice Branch of the Headquarters of Medil Servic (HQMS) at CMPB.

Necsatg a parent to be prent for the terview may be a dntg challenge for a gay rec who is not out to his fay and hib him om clarg his sexual orientatn. Issu such as livg wh other men, and sleepg the quarters as and bathg wh other men – basilly, qutns of whether the gay NSman may f – play a part the review.

Observers have noticed the siary between the SAF's view of the ployabily of gay servicemen and that of women who worked the army s early days. The difference wh gay men at prent is that is clear that there IS a wrten policy towards their employment, evinced by the different treatment of homosexuals durg the medil review procs. Male-to-female transgenr enliste ( any stage of transng before their female genr is legally stated on their inty rds) are still regard as male and are treated on the same sle as gay men.

This arbrary gradg is performed even though is patently obv that male-to-female transgenr people are not gay men, and gay men are not women. If a serviceman clar his homosexualy, the rmatn is nfintial and strictly between him and all the medil officers the SAF.
