A History of Gay Venues in Singapore
By Russell Heng
Today we head to the internet and a cluster of clubs, saunas and Maxwell Market to be with one another. But where did gay men and lesbians go before? What was gay life like 40 years ago? Where exactly did queens go to reign? Come and hear activist, academic and out gay man Russell Heng share his walk through gay history in Singapore.
Same-Sex Love In Classical South Asian Literature
(in English) By Sheo S. Rai
We constantly hear that homosexuality is an impurity invading Asia from the West. In this session, Mr. Rai questions this notion that same-sex love is contrary to Asian culture. He will trace and explore various ancient classical texts from South Asia particularly, India, that touch on same-sex love demonstrating that it has existed as an integral part of our Asian heritage and life.
Mox will be serving one-for-one house pours and specials on jugs.
