あらすじ・解説
Miak Siew is well known as the currrent executive pastor of the Free Community Church, but he has been involved with gay and lesbian advocacy in Singapore for over a quarter century. In that time he has been a member of groups we have already heard about, like People Like Us, and participated in many of the on-line spaces which have been mentioned, like SigNel, Sintercom and Blowing Wind. In this episode he gives us an overview of the gay liberation movement in Singapore from the late 90s. Miak was particularly instrumental in putting together IndigNation and describes the kinds of events which were held over this early Pride festival, focusing on how it navigated the vagaries of Singapore's decency laws at the time. He tells us about the first Pink Run and the anxiety he went through as its organizer.
