Can’t really blame em for having feeling for the same species. Ala.. KL or anywhere else in the world, most of em accept what is going on between people's interest.. Like Angelina Jolie.. She was a lesbo before with that.. wala wala jap girl.. And I'm Bi.. so?.. Err... know what.. I think I just lost my point somewhere there.. But yeah, I can accept both "species". But Bryan, why must it be the guys point of view? Ever thought about what the girls might think, beside thinking that it is ok? For me, I don’t mind seeing girls and girls or guys and guys..

But this country is like a Russian doll. Theres so many layers. However, most of the action takes place in WP, which is gayer than San Francisco, and a walk down the catwalk at Jalan Bukit Bintang will prove that point. But thats changing very quickly, against the tide of a conservative government and religious establishment. Back to the "Russian Doll" analogy. Malaysia is a multiracial society, and the contrasts between the cities and states are so stark there is no definite answer. Indians, Chinese, and Malays will have different outlooks, and experience. The lifestyle possible in Kuala Lumpur cannot take place in Khota Bharu, and you'll find a much higher level of acceptance in the Klang Valley than other regions. Its also an unfortunate fact that the gay lifestyle is inherently riskier than the lesbian one, and that the education and harm reduction strategies that are taking place in Singapore are not happening in Malaysia, due to religious conservatism. If Malaysia does not wake up, legalise homosexual acts, allow education, and harm reduction strategies, it will pay dearly. Misleading publicity, shame and censorship will damage the entire country. Gay people are taxpayers as well. These have been accepted International best practice in other developed nations since the 1980's. If Malaysia wants to achieve the objectives of Wawasan 2020, it needs to follow that. In Malaysia, its not quite accepted, because by and large, it is a relatively conservative society.

I'll answer the 2nd part first. Actually I found that many of my male friends have no problem with gays but due to peer pressure, they have to act as if its not ok. Its an image thing. When you're trying to be seen as an alpha male, you cannot afford to be seen as 'soft'. In fact you make fun of 'soft' people just to strengthen the perception that you are unlike them. Its quite self serving actually, to feel better about oneself by hating other that are not like you. On the straight male's acceptance of gay females, that's a fantasy thing. What's a bed full of naked females? A harem. To the guy it doesn't matter what the ladies are doing to each other because his focus is on the number of female genitals available. So again it serves his purpose. Why is it both men and women accept lesbians as part of society, but not gays. I’ll answer the 2nd part first.

I even had a girl after me... which made things very interesting for my BF cos he knew about it... hahaha... From a religious point of view, well it is uncomfortable... but from a 'all part of life's tapestry' perspective, well they do add flavour... my gay friends LOVE to advice me about my choice of men and my sense of fashion... even when you don't want it. And they always say - you know I luv you right? but seriously... the whole anal thing does bother me a bit... so as long as the boys keep their romp tales private, we have a great friendship. Tho sometimes they are just bursting to tell........ :-\ ^__^ This is crazy! To know I ‘inspired’ all this and wasn’t part of the dicussion! hehehe…

I've seen both parties in action, and honestly, it doesn't bother me. It really is how an individual would perceive them to be. It's not a "OMG, he's gay, or she's a lesbian, ooooh", that kinda thing. At the end of the day, they're still people, whom, like everyone else, deserve their due respect.
