Have you always had great ideas to improve the lives of LGBTQ people in Singapore but never had a chance? Then there is no better time than now for you to take action!

Oogachaga is inviting all individuals or groups who aspire to make a positive difference to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) community to submit an original idea. There are no limitations to your programme as long as the resources allocated for it are reasonable and practical, so let your creative juices flow! You are encouraged to keep your idea simple to make it easy to implement, though.

IndigNation 2012: Airing the Closet

Written by editor on . Posted in Announcements

IndigNation 2012 Event: Airing the Closet

 

What's it like to come out as a gay person in Singapore? How do the themes of our hopes, guilt and silence play out, both in and out of the closet?

Coming out can be painless for some but stressful and even traumatic for others. Through sharing from our guest speakers and the audience in a talk show format, Sayoni hopes to delve into the complexities of how every LGBTQ person reveals their sexual orientation -- for the first time, and each subsequent time -- in the coming out process.

If you're thinking of coming out or have questions or stories of your own to share, come and join us for an evening of chit-chat!

 

Airing the Closet: Our Very Own Chit-Chat

Date: 7 Aug 2012 (Saturday)

Time: 7-10pm

Location: KICKstart BREWiches (50 Armenian Street)

Who's invited: Everyone!
