As a spiritual sequel to our Section 377A episode, and in recognition of the announced repeal of the section in the penal code, the SGExplained team chats with Gabriel Yeong of Young Out Here, a youth support group for the LGBTQIA+ community in Singapore! We discuss what the upcoming repeal means for the community as well as broader societal issues that continue to be top-of-mind for fellow Singaporeans. In this episode, you can look forward to:
Learning about the evolution of spaces for those in the LGBTQIA+ community to come together
Hearing about the impact of the upcoming repeal on various generations in the community
Setting sights on what could come next after the "re-norming"
If you would like to get in touch with Young Out Here, you can do so at young.out.here@gmail.com
