Coming Home: Discussions from Abroad

To discuss the experiences of people who have gone abroad and come back to Singapore. Unscripted and unrehearsed, come listen and share in the experiences of gay Singaporeans who have seen the other side of the fence and have decided to come home. What are their feelings about coming home?

Where is home? Is it tied to a physical location?

What is home? How do you define it?

Why do you call Singapore home?

Can you be an openly gay person in Singapore?

Who should attend this event?

Those who have always wondered what is it like on the other side of the fence and adjustments, differences and experiences of those who have lived aboard. Those that are in transition, those that have gone abroad and back and those that are still searching for the meaning of home.
