What is the big deal about two blokes kissing? Well, it depends from where you're seeing it. In Singapore, there's a bit of fuss surrounding two men who smooched in the background of a live report aired by Channel News Asia for the Beijing Winter Olympics. The incident has once again sparked discussions on LGBTQ+ rights in the Little Red Dot, the laws that are shackling full-on expression, and how Singaporean society views the marginalized community. Joining us to shed light on this complicated issue is Coconuts Singapore's own Carolyn Teo. Tune in!
