Even though Sgapore is a nservative natn, that hasn’t stopped a vibrant gay neighborhood om thrivg here. Sgapore’s gay district is effectively the Chatown neighborhood.
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.
From what I uld tell, though, gay lols don’t live exclively the Sgapore gay area. Gay bars tend to ncentrate Chatown, but don’t lim yourself to stayg this neighborhood! Dorothy’s is a pact Wizard of Oz-themed gay bar Sgapore’s Chatown neighborhood.

The vibe at Dorothy’s is fely more relaxed than your typil gay bar, but I found this to be enjoyable. Soon after I arrived at Tantric, I met a lol gay Sgaporean!
He troduced me to his gay iends, who had moved to Sgapore om different untri like France and Costa Ri. Lluvia is one other lol gay bar and rtrant worth mentng, though they’re not nearly as popular as Tantric and Dorothy’s. Given how nservative the untry is, might surprise you that Sgapore has several gay snas to explore.

Sgapore’s Prime Mister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday said the untry will repeal the lonial-era Sectn 377A of Sgapore’s Penal Co, thereby crimalizg gay sex Sgapore, but add that same-sex marriage will ntue to be illegal the cy-state. * gay life in singapore *

Gay rights challeng asi, is fortg that Sgapore has gay bars and events that allow the LGBT muny to e together.

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.

Given the legal suatn, there are no exclively or specifilly gay hotels Sgapore. However, om the standpot of the wele you receive, we’d say every hotel uld be classified as gay iendly.
Of urse, if gay travellers would like to ensure they’re around more ‘like-md’ people then ’s a matter of dog some rearch and gettg remendatns om fellow LGBT travellers. 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.
