Fatwa Against Boyish Mannerism: National Fatwa Council Taking on Big Brother role?
At the date of this writing, the fatwa has not finalized by the Malaysian National Fatwa Council (NFC) yet. However, the fact NFC is planning on issuing such a fatwa is worrisome. Should anyone have the power to legally and socially define tomboy mannerism? If the council and the policing body have the right to persecute [...]

Gay-bashing in Singapore?
Do the sentences ranging from 18 months in a reformative training centre to 4 ½ years' jail and eight strokes of the cane – and charges of causing grievous hurt – commensurate with the severity of the offence?

Marriage and Racism and Queers, Oh My!
Posted on 02 January 2009
from UltraViolet, December 2008 (www.lagai.org) It is no secret that we in LAGAI – Queer Insurrection, like many other grassroots queer activists, are not big advocates of gay marriage. As with queers in the military, we think the overall political institution is wrong, and therefore we should not be struggling to have an equal place in it. [...] Continue Reading

Posted on 31 December 2008
Ani DiFranco performing acoustic version of “Out of Range” I was locked into being my mother’s daughter, I was just eating bread and water thinking nothing ever changes, and I was shocked to see the mistakes of each generation will just fade like a radio station if you drive out of range If you’re not angry you’re just stupid or you don’t care How else can you [...] Continue Reading

“You met her WHERE?” Aaah, Internet Dating.
Posted on 29 December 2008
“So where’d you meet your current other half that seems permanently and awkwardly attached to the side of your left thigh?” “We’re not that clingy, but I digress. Try guessing!” “Huh. What, did your eyes meet across… wossname, a crowded room?” “Cheesy lah you. No.” “Nosy matchmaker friends?” “Naaah. Nope.” “What then!?” “Shouldn’t it be obvious by now? The Internet!” Fridae: one of [...] Continue Reading

Fashion with Passion @ Club69
Posted on 28 December 2008
20th Dec: I was just done with helping organise a queer-related fashion show at the Annexe. Yuki suggested we follow up by attending the “lesbian fashion show” at Club 69, in Asian Heritage Row. It seemed like a good suggestion - after all, what are the chances of two gender-bending fashion shows being organised in Kuala [...] Continue Reading

Prop 8 - The Musical
Posted on 27 December 2008
This short video was released on more than 3 weeks ago. Nevertheless, it’s still a worthy watch for those who haven’t catch it. Taken from Time: Oh, those crazy Hollywood liberals—show ‘em an opportunity to school the nation on civic duty, and they never fail to jump. While this tendency can sometimes lean towards the sanctimonious, not [...] Continue Reading

Of Making Choices…
Posted on 27 December 2008
Many thanks to JC for contributing this post. As we walk on the long weary path we call our lives, we stumble upon parts in which we are forced to make a choice. Some choose to take the path less taken; some choose to follow their hearts’ desires. But all in all, will it bring us [...] Continue Reading

Harian Metro, The Star Demonizes Transsexual Females.
Posted on 26 December 2008
Harian Metro has been very diligent in spreading misinformation about tomboys and pengkids for the past couple of months ever since the fatwa on tomboys came out of the National Fatwa Council. They even used the word “tomboi” in various situations, from a girl wanting to be a boy, to a girl who looks like [...] Continue Reading

Human Rights Closet?
Posted on 20 December 2008
In this day and age, the term Human Rights is used as an umbrella term for a wide array issues, from equal rights between men and women, religious freedom, to minority rights. Malaysia, lo and behold, "violates" and "abuses" on a Malaysiakini-daily basis - arrests of cyclists, ignoring the rape victims in Sarawak, judiciary interference, possible civilian abuse by the police, battered transgendered individuals in lockups.

Doodles you should see, t-shirts you should wear

A friend of mine drew something that caught my eye recently, which I thought I would share: (Yoga for Muslims - Illustration by Mohd Wahhab bin Tawfiq Salafi) In our conversations, one remark has cropped up frequently. Some situations were meant to be turned into t-shirt slogans: Lesbians for yoga; mass sun-salutations, anyone? Somewhat ironically, I never [...] Continue Reading
