@@MaxChernov you can’t buy a HDB unless you’re married or 35. It’s illegal for gays to marry. Just accept that singapore is still very conservative with western conservative values. Don’t forget it was the british that colonised singapore and made 377a.
Repealed or not, I don't think it'll make a difference at all. You see, that particular law had never been actively exercised nor have the government actively pursued or cracked down on individuals who "broke the law". It has always been the case of "don't ask, don't tell" or "keep it private and we won't ask any questions". The government had affirmed its stance on marriage and that it should be kept exclusively between a male and a female. This is simply a ruse to fool people into thinking that a change will happen and that LGBT folks will be accepted by our society. It's akin to giving false hope to someone. A recent study has shown that while the majority of Singaporeans are not averse to the idea of befriending someone from the LGBT community, it's a different story when it comes to their family members. Most parents would not support their children becoming gay or trans.

From all accounts, the LGBTQI crowd have been doing OK for some time now, and the repeal of 377A is largely symbolic. Great, no problem to me at all. Keep up with these interesting videos. M
@@markjones2781 are you even LGBT?? Don't blindly bullshit say that lgbtq are doing fine when they aren't. The repeal isn't pap being accepting, it's them trying to reinforce the straight family values and stating that they will only recognize straight families.
I was invited to be a corporate liaison to fund an internship program at the best university in Singapore. After Singapore’s dictator attacked a CEO for discussing non-discrimination laws in the US, I refused. Any country which does not allow persecuted minorities to escape and live better lives is a toilet.
I don't think most people really care. I am gay and I never have any problem coming out. I told everyone after I found out I'm gay, I told my gf I think I'm gay (even though I'm still attracted to girls but I don't want it to be complicated), and then I told my parent. I remember my mom asked me "is it true? does it mean you are not going to have a baby?" I confirm her, and then she said it was also good. it costs a lot to take care of babies these days. my bf and my dad were really close. they fix the house together and go drinking. actually, in my country, we think if you're trying to show that you hate gays, there is a high chance you are in a closet. my best mate is gay and he was a star soccer player in high school, so he's quite famous with girls but we secretly do many naughty things together. he's not out to anyone and he was so upset with me coming out to my friends. he said he can't be my friend anymore. he really never talks to me at all, like we don't know each other. this is quite big for me at that time bc our friend was also separated into two groups, his group, and my group and he told so many lies about me, I didn't really understand him at that time bc he was actually a girl in our relationship but he acts as I am gay and he's super manly. then he came to my house one day and he ask me to understand him. that is the only time I have problem being gay. oh btw im from Thailand

Studies discovered that it is the mother's immune system that influence the gayness. Gay men have, on average, a greater number of older brothers than do heterosexual men, a well-known finding within sexual science. This finding has been termed the fraternal birth order effect. Strong scientific interest in sexual orientation exists because it is a fundamental human characteristic, and because its origins are often the focal point of considerable social controversy. Consider reading discoveries on homosexuality issues under NCBI research on fraternal birth order of males in the family. Let's say if there are 2 or 4 boys in the family, chances are - there is / are gays within these boys siblings, according to scientific research.
I am a Singaporean. I do also have lesbian and gay friend too. Who are we to judge on them. Just respect their point of view and thinking but don't mean you agree. Every individual do have their choice what he/she want in their life path.
Singapore is behind many Western countries when it comes to LGBT rights. On the bright side, SG govt has shown it is open to change by repealing 377a. I think it's important to remember that change doesn't happen overnight even in the West, not to mention more culturally conservative Asian countries. Besides, gay marriage in more liberal countries like US and Australia was only made legal in the past decade. So I'm quite confident that younger generation in SG will be more supportive of LGBT rights.
@@lacag-lacag tradition and same sex marriage is literally 2 opposite thing why do u care so much about how people live their life? you can keep the tradition and just ignore it and move along no one’s hurting u as long as u ain’t hurting anyone bruh
he's right. gay bars in singapore dont care if you're a straight woman or straight man, i see a different mix of people in gay bars. some just follow their gay friends/colleagues for drinks
Heh I was dragged to one of the gay bar in KL by my gay friends, me and my girl mates were laughing so hard as no males look at us but at our gay friends instead 😂
It's kinda sad that there is no recognized mariage. I'd be up for a Singapore adventure with my husband, but in terms of the visa it is more complicated for a dependent to look for a job
"We're not going to be satisfied till we get equal rights" but then also says "The fight for equal rights is never over". Nothing against gay people and Sam he seems like a cool guy. But my problem is this whole Woke social justice stuff complaining about Civil Rights and Equality all the time, and then once they achieve one thing they move on to complaining about another issue, like also be grateful for what you do have, the whole movement is just complaining about what they don't have and it never stops.
I think as long as you don’t get married and invite some random shit company who are against what you do to arrange your wedding, or invite random aunties and uncles who don’t like gays, you’ll be fine they’ll just think you as homies or not give a shit.
That bar is a massive rip off . Drinks are overpriced horrifically - that’s the worse thing about being gay in Singapore. Lots of great sex clubs though nearby. Shout out to the taxi driver who stole the show.
Damn. I think my comment got auto delete due to link. Anyways, let me try again... I wanted to say the average sgrean is non confrontational. The most you'll get are stares. (unless you're a butch and goes to women's toilet. Yeah, the aunties will say smthg. But usually they are easily calmed if u just reassure them that it's the women's and you're a tomboy. Helps if u have a girly voice. I usually just say random things or sing so they dont even have to speak to me. And I'll usually be left alone. If you encounter problems, it's most likely gonna be a christian(or muslim-less likely) or foreigner.
@@sunshinelove19 Like most countries,if you're gonna go clubbing, just be alert. Other than these,you should be fine. It's the policies/system that is suffocating. Everyday life is rather normal, uneventful....
8:28 you should watch the video. It is covered. It is like chewing gum is banned in Singapore. Sure, you can’t buy chewing gum in Singapore and unless you do a mass import of chewing gum by box loads, no one will stop you from chewing gum (except public transport - never chew gum in public transport). Did you know that we don’t have e-cigarettes too? Please visit Singapore. We love it here and we would love to have you here too.
@@Mabbdaa he means "why should he leave his country" and why should he. Don't be a homophobic ass please, stop acting like you're so superior for being attracted to the opposite gender.
@@catsballs9657 Who said I was homophobic? If Singapore made smoking illegal I would support them too. It's not the government's problem if you don't like every single law they implement, life just isn't like that.
@Lord Krishna’s Indonesian Soldier Then I still support the Singapore government. I don't know where you're going with this. I don't know why everyone thinks I am homophobic when all I am doing is supporting the laws put in place by a government.
It's a somewhat repressed place for people who are defiant or different. People generally do not care but they do not like what is not mainstream being shoved on their faces or in news. It's changing with the younger generation but the right wings/conservative/religious are still pretty homophobic and defend on the name/ground of Asianness. US or other western countries are certainly more liberal. I say this and will say this again. Don't expect that kind of liberalism in US if you choose to stay in Singapore.
Nah, you're just stating the obvious. Why would you expect Singapore to be like the US at all when its history, cultural and demographic makeup is different. Change doesn't happen overnight even in the West, not to mention more culturally conservative Asian countries. The benchmark here ought to be on progress and Singapore is slowly but surely moving in the right direction. Ironically, the main opposition party did not unanimously support the repeal of 377a. So I would give credit to the ruling party for moving ahead with it despite facing no political pressure.
@@MaxChernov definitely not? 377a isn’t a law anymore but they definitely reinforced the straight family values. Basically “only straight people here don’t show us your gay shit” I’ve lived here all my life it’s definitely still homophobic.
I thought it’s no longer against the law, didn’t the Parliament of Singapore passed a bill to repeal Section 377A, the law that criminalized sex between two consenting males?
What sort of help are you talking about? Firstly you need to understand what kind of help he needs. If it's just being a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on, then just continue being a supportive friend to him. Beyond that, I don't think there is much you can do for him. If it's recognition and acceptance by society, it's going to be hard to change attitudes and mindsets of the mainstream society.
I am a singaporean and theres one thing i wanna know... So one of my classmates that seat next to me acctualy brougth GUM to school And he said that he got the gum in another countery and some how he got through with the gum in the luggage awnser😧
This guy admits that he was induced into homosexuality because of pornography. That is extremely disturbing. It just goes to show that the very basis of the whole so-called lifestyle is quite destructive. That is tragic.
@@MaxChernov Yes he did He admitted that when he looked at pornography with homosexual themes, that's when he supposedly discovered that he was gay. That is precisely what happened. Why are you trying to cover that up?
I understand his POV; not able to be at the bedside of a love one, not allowed to attend funeral, not a recognised partner. Valid points. On the other hand, I'm glad the govt want to maintain the family nucleus; man + woman + child. I'm also glad the social / institutional, political and entertainment madness / degeneration overtaking some parts of the world; USoA, UK, etc, for the past several years is not happening here because the govt is maintaining the core family, race and religious structures.
@@MaxChernov because if you listen to any of his comedic shows, his whole persona revolves around demonising his own country and poking fun at political figures as well as the TV station in Singapore. It is a very overused form of humour and Singaporeans know this. His jokes are also not funny at all. He does not dare to make fun of any sexual/ethnic minorities which truly limits his comedic capability in my opinion. A good comedian will make fun of everyone and everything. Sam See is obviously trying hard not to offend the minorities in Singapore
I remember being in school, and then the new law came out saying you could be gay now. I looked at my friends and they looked at me and we immediately capitalised. In gay jokes. No we didn’t make out.
@@MaxChernov Lazy to read at that time. Kinda tired. Anyways I still disagree with his summary. It's not they dont care. The avg sgreans just isnt confrontational about it. Bullying and various discrimination still happen. But as long you don't start shit, they will tolerate bcos money makes sg go around.
i think the people in singapore should be able to choose their own gender identity on their passport or identity card just like most of the accepting countries in the world as currently you can only change your gender marker if you get srs(sex reassignment surgery) done which is like saying you’re forcing people to get surgery in order to just have your gender marker change. srs is more like a privilege due to the cost and not every trans person wants srs too. hopefully more people could raise this issue in singapore so that the government will notice it!!
It doesn't matter how you feel, what matters is your original biology because scientifically that what's determine your actual gender, hence why there's only 2 gender option - male or female. In case of a dead person or criminal cases, your body will only be identified by what it is - a male or a female. That's the practically of having the actual gender on the ID which doesn't based on feelings but rather your biological make up.
@@kokzi8723 yes you have you’re rights to say what you want and have your opinion but we also have our own rights to be ourselves in society. its none of your business if a woman kisses another woman or a man kisses another man. as they say “dont be so busybody”
The video was shot before 377a was repealed :)
thank god it is repealed, no one shd be homophobic or LGBTQ-phobic, cuz that's just sad

@@MaxChernov definitely not? 377a isn’t a law anymore but they definitely reinforced the straight family values. Basically “only straight people here don’t show us your gay shit” I’ve lived here all my life it’s definitely still homophobic.
The US is liberal really? Maybe in terms of arts or business. But culture? I think they are extremely prejudiced. They are tribal NOT liberal
I thought it’s no longer against the law, didn’t the Parliament of Singapore passed a bill to repeal Section 377A, the law that criminalized sex between two consenting males?
Singapore needs to respect feelings of the followers of Abrahamic faiths. And it is also small country surrounded by 300million muslims
Irrelevant. We will chart our own path without bending to intimidation. We are okay with gays.
And Millions of Christians
my friend aden is gay, Help!
good
You should accept him and treat him equally and with kindness
Loved this guy he was hilarious.
Just imagine the numbers of LGBTQ businesses on the increasing bring in new tax revenues for Singapore government.😊
How do I help my friend Aden who is gay? Please suggests some tips
What sort of help are you talking about? Firstly you need to understand what kind of help he needs. If it's just being a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on, then just continue being a supportive friend to him. Beyond that, I don't think there is much you can do for him. If it's recognition and acceptance by society, it's going to be hard to change attitudes and mindsets of the mainstream society.
Yes nice.
I also LGBT - Lesbian
And i stay with my Girlfriend..

There is literally a Pride flag near Chinatown

This guy admits that he was induced into homosexuality because of pornography. That is extremely disturbing. It just goes to show that the very basis of the whole so-called lifestyle is quite destructive. That is tragic.
he never said that
@@MaxChernov Yes he did He admitted that when he looked at pornography with homosexual themes, that's when he supposedly discovered that he was gay. That is precisely what happened.
Why are you trying to cover that up?

@@jayrober4834 Of course not! It's still child abuse and corruption of a minor.
@@ArthurCSchaperMRYour bullshitting we are born this way
I understand his POV; not able to be at the bedside of a love one, not allowed to attend funeral, not a recognised partner. Valid points.
On the other hand, I'm glad the govt want to maintain the family nucleus; man + woman + child. I'm also glad the social / institutional, political and entertainment madness / degeneration overtaking some parts of the world; USoA, UK, etc, for the past several years is not happening here because the govt is maintaining the core family, race and religious structures.
The fuck?? Many straight families are fucked up and raise fucked up kids. Just say you’re homophobic.
Live and let live. Max, so hot, why are you wearing wind breaker or down jacket huh??? 🤣
Hahaha bc Korea!
im a kid i want to be pan >,
Im bi and would love to visit Singapore and have a 3some studs experience
Come, we are all here 😂
I’m ok with them as long as they don’t bother me
Sam See is the cringiest comedian I have ever seen and I am a Singaporean
Hmmm.. why?
@@MaxChernov because if you listen to any of his comedic shows, his whole persona revolves around demonising his own country and poking fun at political figures as well as the TV station in Singapore. It is a very overused form of humour and Singaporeans know this. His jokes are also not funny at all. He does not dare to make fun of any sexual/ethnic minorities which truly limits his comedic capability in my opinion. A good comedian will make fun of everyone and everything. Sam See is obviously trying hard not to offend the minorities in Singapore
this felt a little targeted... ✨✨❤️😔
Bapok!
What is the purpose of your videos. I have been watching your videos and it gives me the impression that you are quietly stirring things in Singapore.
Yes, I’m a US special agent 🕵️♂️
The purpose is getting clicks, sponsors and revenue 🤷🏻♂️
@@MaxChernov
Dont mind this pap brainwashed karen.
@@MaxChernov lol
What? You can’t accept that singapore isn’t perfect…??
Section 377a has been repealed. It’s no longer criminal to be gay. Are you trying to stir things up?
I know. We shot this video in July. Also there is an an explanation about the repeal later in the video
Good video Max.
Pls ignore idiots like Ann Chiang. Speaking about lives of Singaporeans is not stirring anything. She in fact is.
Seems like you need to get a life.
@@jjs1168 thanks so much for support 🙏
Aiyo, why so triggered… stir simi? 😂😂
I would never want to visit that place. The people seem very uptight and cruel
being gay in Singapore isn't illegal
LGBT ( Letting Go - Biblical Truth.) Abandoned by God
Roman 1:24-32
I remember being in school, and then the new law came out saying you could be gay now.
I looked at my friends and they looked at me and we immediately capitalised.
In gay jokes. No we didn’t make out.
Bruh
Walau eh can u speak any faster? 🙄🙄🙄

@@MaxChernov
This sg guy 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Dunno what he talking, me just reading n replying to comments. 😂😂😂
😁try subtitles
@@MaxChernov
Lazy to read at that time. Kinda tired.
Anyways I still disagree with his summary. It's not they dont care. The avg sgreans just isnt confrontational about it. Bullying and various discrimination still happen. But as long you don't start shit, they will tolerate bcos money makes sg go around.
What if Singapore banned LGBTQ
i think the people in singapore should be able to choose their own gender identity on their passport or identity card just like most of the accepting countries in the world as currently you can only change your gender marker if you get srs(sex reassignment surgery) done which is like saying you’re forcing people to get surgery in order to just have your gender marker change. srs is more like a privilege due to the cost and not every trans person wants srs too. hopefully more people could raise this issue in singapore so that the government will notice it!!
It doesn't matter how you feel, what matters is your original biology because scientifically that what's determine your actual gender, hence why there's only 2 gender option - male or female. In case of a dead person or criminal cases, your body will only be identified by what it is - a male or a female. That's the practically of having the actual gender on the ID which doesn't based on feelings but rather your biological make up.
A man is a man and a woman is a woman. Support Singapore government. We have our rights to protect our children being poisoned.
@@kokzi8723 typical close minded self centred singaporean replies as usual
@כּוּשִׁי it’s basic human rights dude…
@@kokzi8723 yes you have you’re rights to say what you want and have your opinion but we also have our own rights to be ourselves in society. its none of your business if a woman kisses another woman or a man kisses another man. as they say “dont be so busybody”
