The conservative Singaporean government doesn't recognize or support alternative lifestyles; however, gay and lesbian culture is alive and well here. What you'll find is that older gays and lesbians are more conservative and, therefore, less open to discussion, while the younger generations have very few qualms about describing the local scene and their personal experiences in Singapore.

There are tons of websites on the Internet for the LGBT community in Singapore. Start at www.utopia-asia.com, an extremely comprehensive insider collection of current events, meeting places, travel tips, topical Web discussions, and links to resources.
