I posted a video of Jonah Mowry expressing his fear and torment for being bullied because he is gay. If you indentify with Jonah. Here’s a video from an adult who has been through it, and lived to be happy and successful. But most of all, being able to love yourself as you are, because you are perfect as you are.

I know the day will come. The day you are able to tell yourself, “I love me too.”

My listener, turned friend, share her story of being a transgender woman. I have had some other transgender women on Ongline before. But they are usually at the later part of the transition process. I thought it would be nice to let people know in details of what the process is like, and hopefully inspire further understanding and compassion.

Cathy is generous enough to share her time and stories with us.

When I went back to Malaysia several months ago, I met with a bunch of my local gay friends. I convinced them to talk to me about being gay and living in Malaysia. It is both insightful, touching, and at time, sad.

Their experience and views may not reflect all gay people. But this is the reality for some in Malaysia.

Rojak is a fruit salad that has some interesting ingredients that will probably make you squirm. It also contains cuttle fish and the black sticky sauce is actually fermented shrimp paste.

I found this slideshow on my computer today, and it’s quite warm outside, I thought I’d share what it was like in February when we had our blizzard.

I was intrigued by the fact that the Malaysian local theater scene is now doing gay-themed productions. When I heard about the production of “Octopus” by the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center (KLPAC), I contacted the publicist expressing my interests to chat with the director Kelvin Wong. You’ll learn a bit about the play, the production, the challenges and how this play goes beyond sexual orientation. If knowing what does it really mean to say “I love you”, then you’ll find this play worth checking out. If you’re gay, and you’re in KL, you must see this, and bring your straight friends along.
