This is a ground-breaking book on a previously taboo topic in generally strait-laced Singapore. The subject of homosexuality is given serious and thoughtful attention. Various gay- related issues are discussed, including identity, culture, religion rights, responsibilities, and theatre. Read about lighter topics such as what it means to be a "potato queen" -- a gay Asian male who prefers gay Caucasian males -- in Singapore. These topics are not only discussed from an academic point of view, but more significantly, from the experiences of the ordinary gay person. This book provides a perspective on what it means to be gay in Singapore at the turn of the millennium.
