There is still a lack of broad social consensus and acceptance of gay rights in Singapore and this might not lead to a happy state of affairs in Singapore. Differing views amongst Singaporeans on whether homosexuality is acceptable or morally right still exists to a large extent.
However like it or not and let’s face it, Singaporeans, no matter how indignant some of us are against LBGT and Gay Rights in Singapore, things are now slowly changing as public awareness and official acceptance becomes gradually more apparent.
Singapore may at first appear to be a “buttoned up” country with strict laws on homosexuality but in truth Section 377A is not proactively enforced by the government, and the Government does not act as moral policemen.
With the advent of social media especially Twitter and Instagram, many popular gay personalities and bloggers are coming out from the dark and openly declaring themselves gay within their own circle of friends or to the public.
Combined with recent articles in Yahoo Singapore that Singaporean women are difficult to please, are complaining that they are not getting enough sex and want more sex, as well as Singapore being ranked as the world’s most pessimists countries, below are some reasons why more men are turning gay in Singapore.
1. Gay Men Make Best Friends
While gay men love, love, love straight women, they never trade in being gay. Why you may ask? Because being a gay man is the best of two worlds: they can borrow the best from masculine and feminine stereotypes. And they're dependable and are fierce advocates. They'll hold your hair when you're puking. Tell you you're thin when you need to hear it most. They'll dance with you and celebrate with you and fight for you. They'll protect you from asshole straight men and dress you up and take you out. And most importantly they'll always be there. Like Tom Jones, they too, never go away.
2. Gay Men Don't Objectify Women
They may want to doll you up in pretty Barbie doll dresses and up-dos and false lashes. But when they look at you straight women they see who you are, not what they want to do to you. And that is why you need them in your lives. They love women. Their mothers were their best friends. And they love and appreciate you for who you are. Straight guys, even the good ones, are looking at your ass. And chest. They're not. Believe me. So know you're safe from those stares with them. They're good like that.
3. Gay Men Are Dancing Machines
Think of the last wedding you attended. When The Bee Gees burst from the stereo who was the first person out on the floor giving Travolta a run for his money? Not your grandmother, I bet! Gay guys are always the first, and last, on the dance floor. They're a party wherever they go. It is almost impossible to outlast them.
4. Gay Men Make People Laugh
I often say gays are angels on earth. They're here to cheer you up and make you laugh and get you singing. They love life, love meeting new people, and they love to laugh at you, with you, and even at themselves. Straight girls are funny too. But, sorry, they're funnier. Though they're best with partners who match them blow by blow: think Gary and Kenneth.
5. Gay Men Have No Kids
Why do they have more money? Easy one. They don't have kids. Straight women get burdened down with those little beasts. Not them. Well, not all of them. There are some gays with babies, but, um, they're the exception to the norm. They normal gays are good in the presence of kids for about an hour. So keep your babies. They'll keep their cash.
6. Gay Men Can Travel And Enjoy More
Disposable incomes. Yes. They make more money and have more discretionary income. All marketing studies point to this. And just look at your homo friend's Facebook walls. They travel the globe, often times in Speedos and in groups, and it's expected. It is their gay duty to cover the world in glitter and fun.
7. Gay Men Can Have Casual Sex Without Headaches
There I said it. Gay men are lucky. They have the sex drives of their straight male counterparts, without the emotional attachment their lady friends have to sex. That's a win-win situation. They hook up often and without any headache.
