Gay bar gets more decadent with the night
CUSTOMERS MOLEST WAITERS' BUTTS 

Forward

In Singapore, it is currently illegal and unacceptable for homosexuals to display their affection, kiss or commit intimate acts in public.

However, many homosexuals have absolutely no regard for the law and are openly having unnatural sex in public places.

For the past few days, our newspaper has reported about the increase in the number of “relaxation centres” like saunas and gyms within the country, which are providing a place of convenience for homosexuals to indulge in their lusts and commit illegal sex acts.

At the same time, the nation has also seen a dramatic increase in the number of another form of gay establishment.

In this issue, we turn our focus and unveil the secret mask behind this other form of gay establishment - gay bars and discos.

 
Gays cast weird looks on female patrons who step into the ‘forbidden place’

Female patrons who step into such “gay bars” would face strange stares from its gay customers. The staff and gay customers would also be surprised by their presence.

Although Peter has not been working for very long in the gay bar, he is fully aware of the happenings in here.

He told our reporters, “…even though the exterior of the establishment did not indicate or specify that this is a gay bar, the gay customers would often treat the female patrons with weird stares and gazes; although the ladies are, technically speaking, not prohibited from entering the bar.”

Our reporters saw some flamboyantly dressed gay customers cruising inside this bar cum disco.

Some don attires that “bare a lot of their flesh”, while those hunky ones whom possess a well built body would “expose their shoulders” and “even their bums” in their bid to attract the attention and praises from other gay customers who are ogling at them and “salivating/swooning” over their good looks. There are some gay customers who engage in deep intimacy and some who are whispering sweet nothings to one another.

Located in the city, this gay pub is open every night with its decadent activities and the lustful gay customers even molest the waiters working there as they are unable to control their urges and sexual desires.

Based on our understanding, Singapore’s downtown area has been sprouting many gay bars and discos recently. These establishments mainly target male homosexuals as their primary clientele.

There is no great difference between other regular, straight bars or discos from the gay bars; with the only distinction being their customers. All of their customers are male homosexuals.

Receiving a tip-off, our reporters went down such an establishment to witness the place. Indeed, it was an eye-opener and just as rumoured, the gay pub is filled with men and every single one of them is dressed to kill, with great efforts put in for their outfits, all clad in the most hip, “in” and fashionable gay attires: tight-fitting shirts, shirts embroidered with flowers and sleeveless t-shirts, etc.

Some of the staff told us frankly that this is a gay bar. Following which, our reporters thus enquired out of curiosity the reasons why some of the staff chose to work in such gay bars.

One of the male waiters with “normal tendencies” Peter (not his real name) told us that he and his friends came here to work just to earn some extra income, and that this is only a part-time job for him and his friends. He also added that they have their full time jobs in the day.

Peter also complained to our reporters about his sad plight in that he was once molested by the gay customers in the gay pub before.

Our reporters further enquired, “Which part of your body did they touch?”

“They would draw out their hands and touch my buttocks,” Peter lamented.

“What did you do then? Don’t you feel violated or upset?”

“What can I do? We are in no position to offend the customers, so all we can do is to push their hands gently, lightly and in a polite manner. This is our job and we absolutely have no choice about it.” Peter answered despondently.

Foreword by Yawning Bread

This is a translation of the 4th (out of 5 daily stories) installment of the Chinese tabloid Wanbao's exposé of gay (under)life in Singapore.

A summary of the entire series can be found at Wanbao's 5-part report on gay saunas and bars

The translator had this prefacing note:

While all effort has been made to ensure that the translation of people's names, ranks, and titles are accurate, no guarantee is made that this translation of the Lianhe Wanbao article is completely accurate; but every effort has been made to ensure that it is as close to the original meaning as possible.

 

After several conversations, we actually found out to our surprise that the majority of the waiters here are not gay, and that they have “normal sexual inclinations”. These waiters are “real men” and are only interested in the opposite sex. Some are also attached with girlfriends.

There were approximately 10 waiters and close to 100 customers in the gay disco that night. When our reporters arrived at around 10p.m., there were hardly any customers. But the crowd increased dramatically towards midnight.

According to our sources, this is one of the most famous gay bars in town.


Gays perform R-rated acts in the bar

These gays, in the presence of everybody, outrightly and openly kiss and stroke each other intimately.

Among the groups of gay patrons, there is a group of handsome 20-30 year old young gays sitting upstairs.

Our reporters discovered that they seem to be drunk and high on alcohol as their actions seem to be very daring and open. Some of them actually kiss and stroke each other in the presence of others.

Although their public displays of affection lasted only a few seconds, it was extremely “R-rated”. Their acts of intimacy, decadent and daring behaviour was absolutely unbelievable and definitely an eye-opener to the non-homosexual customers.
 
In addition, there were three male customers aged approximately 30 years old seated at the bar counter next to the dance floor. Two of which are clearly are lovers, and were clutching each other hand in hand after sitting down just for a short while. Following which, they started putting their arms around one another’s shoulders and started caressing one another. 
 

Homosexuals can seek external help if they want to revert to the "normal path"

If homosexuals want to embrace and revert to the “normal path” of heterosexuality, they should seek external help.

A local famous pastor Mr. Chen Han Xi has counselled many gays before.

He said, “Some among them have witnessed their poor mothers being ill-treated and abused by their fathers since young, and as such, this has left an extremely deep impact on their young, innocent minds, causing them great emotional distress. When these disturbed gays grow up, while having sex (anal intercourse) with other men, they imagine that they are actually enjoying it (sex with other men) on behalf of their mother.”

Pastor Tan also thinks that some gays have homosexual tendencies because of post environmental influences and are not truly homosexuals. Should these group of gays wish to be cured, they should seek external help and treatment.

Pastor Tan also added, “Some gays are struggling alone but this would be very tough. The most immediate way is to seek external help, like religious or psychiatric counselling as treatment. These are the better ways which gays can turn straight.”

Pastor Tan admitted that there is no great difference in the love relationships for both homosexuals and heterosexuals. Homosexual relationships can also experience sad and heart-breaking moments.

“Some gays decided to leave their male partners because they wished to get married (to a woman) and start a family with children of their own. However, some are like “butterflies flying about in a garden”, from one flower to another, constantly on the search for new same-sex partners.” 


Six coloured rainbow flag the symbol of homosexuality

Think that Singapore’s homosexuals are still in the closet? Well, you are terribly wrong. The numbers of gay bars and discos have been sprouting dramatically and worryingly in our nation, opening one after another, gaining much popularity.

Not only that, Singapore’s gays have also begun to come out of the closet and many have openly admitted their sexual preferences for the same sex. They no longer hide in their shells.

After our visit to two of the gay bars located in the city, our reporters were shocked to realise that there are actually so many gays who have walked out of the closet without any fears and considerations. They do not bother or care about what others think about them and openly socialise in the clubs over the weekends.

According to our observation, rainbow flags are hung outside all of these gay establishments. The rainbow flags are symbolic and representative of the gay community and consists of six colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

Although the interior décor and design of such establishments is of no great distinction from the normal, straight bars, it is evident that most who patronise them are homosexual.


 

Some among them have witnessed their poor mothers being ill-treated and abused by their fathers since young, and as such, this has left an extremely deep impact on their young, innocent minds, causing them great emotional distress. When these disturbed gays grow up, while having sex (anal intercourse) with other men, they imagine that they are actually enjoying it (sex with other men) on behalf of their mother.”
