In the next few episodes of Semua Kita we sit down with Garry Moss, a well-known figure on the gay scene in Singapore and an organizer of many groups and events. How did he get to where he is? In this podcast he tells us about his childhood, and his experience of feeling like an outsider, not because of his sexuality, but because he is Eurasian, an ethnic minority on the island. This sense of difference allowed him to build his own community of “outcasts”.Garry also talks to us about his first experiences as a young man, and the spaces where he could explore being gay on-line, including Bianca’s Closet, the Blowing Wind fora and Internet Relay Chat (IRC). It was where he found his people who would eventually become his friends in real life as well.Other subscription, listening and following options here: https://bit.ly/m/semuakita #queer #LGBTQ #oralhistory #singapore
