Fridae's Melbourne-based writer Shinen Wong meets Nic and Tim, a couple who recently got married in Australia despite the lack of legal recognition and want to share their story to "put an Asian face to an issue that has been couched as a very ‘Western notion.'"
Hosted by the City of Sydney, the event includes a film screening of Tony Ayres's 'China Dolls' and community forum where a panel of speakers and the audience can share their personal stories about sexual and gender diversity within multicultural families and communities.
Could having the highest concentration of (Caucasian) Buddhists - in the United States - have played a part in Vermont's relative ease with legalise same-sex marriage?
What's with being gay and bitchy? What are we trying to prove by being so mean to each other? Shinen Wong looks at where it might all come from and where we can go from here.
Once thought of as the ultimate life-force, cum today is also seen as potentially 'toxic' - a carrier of a whole host of diseases, from gonorrhea, syphilis to HIV. Shinen Wong calls for a gay male reclamation of the meaning of cum.
Shinen Wong ponders the meaning of gay Pride parades as Sydney, where he currently lives, is in the midst of the its 31st annual Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras festival season.
Depending on circumstances, Valentine's Day is either a time to celebrate the one you love, or it is yet another time of the year that excessive commercialisation of sexuality and romance in movies, ads, and chocolate specialty shops all lead to anxiety about being single... writes Shinen Wong.
It's an oft-used descriptor in personal ads but what does it really mean to advertise yourself as a "straight-acting" gay man? Shinen Wong delves into the term's underlying assumptions and bias.
I'm a relationship oriented guy. Versatile, HIV-, no drugs, no drama. Love to laugh. Live right on a lake and enjoy the water. Love to explore, and the DC area has lots of interesting things to see and do. Looking for a decent looking guy, 24 - 39, whose mind is working, has a decent sense of humor and some adventure in him. Someone who says what he means and means what he says.

I am an intelligent, reliable, honest man and a financially independent person. I go with the flow, but also hope to find a gentleman and loyal boyfriend. My friends often describe me as a person with a good mind and a good sense of humor. I like to think and explore new things and am curious about the world. I believe that a positive attitude and an optimistic mindset can help us overcome challenges in life and enjoy every beautiful moment.
