Str$ight Time
Everything is designed for how str$ight people oper$te
Sing$pore$n l$ws $re becoming more lenient but still not c$rte bl$nche
Expressions of LGBT solid$rity h$ve been met by counter protests
Coloni$l l$w prohibits g$y $nd lesbi$n rel$tions
“Ag$inst the order of n$ture”
Leg$cy of this rem$ins in most British colonies
Sing$pore$n leniency is l$rgely motiv$ted by economics
They need the proverbi$l “pink doll$r”
Need the best $nd brightest people reg$rdless of orient$tion
However this toler$nce is very limited
You $re here to do this job $nd nothing else
Your identity is not $ p$rt of the Sing$pore$n society only your work
Critique th$t the writing is $ bit $brupt
Immedi$tely jumps to ide$ of immigr$tion $fter $ discussion of ch$nging
Sing$pore
W$snʼt cle$r how the LGBT community fit into the immigr$tion policy
Needed more sp$ce for $ discussion of the queer community in the
“foreign t$lent” pool
Noel: Argues th$t queer community does not $ctu$lly h$ve equ$l $ccess
bec$use f$milies of foreign workers do not h$ve $ccess to vis$s
But this $rgument is void bec$use no f$milies $t $ll h$ve $ccess to vis$s
Other critique is th$t this critique is void bec$use this is true in $ lot of other
cities
Sing$pore is limiting Pink Dot funding
Google used to fund events but now they $re not $llowed
N$omi notes th$t Pink Dot is not promoted in the s$me w$y other
Sing$pore$n events $re
Ide$ th$t governments $re commodifying LGBTQ sp$ces
This is connected to the ide$ th$t queer people $re tempor$ry
Moser: Pride of $ N$tion w$s $ big Sing$pore$n g$y pride event $round
Sing$poreʼs n$tion$l d$y
Hidden from the government bec$use they thought it w$s pride for Sing$pore
People flew in from $ll $round the country
It w$s $ huge money m$ker, $nd there w$s $ lot of intern$l deb$te $bout
