Love it! LGBTQI people do face real discrimination in Singapore and all around the world. It's so cool that there are some wonderful, loving and compassionate straight allies that support their LGBTQI friends and family. Love always wins! I'll be there on June 29th to show my support!

Politicians will only listen and pay attention when their jobs are on the line. If we don't vote for them, they won't have a job. We need to speak up, come out and vote for people who will support us. Forget the ones who refuse to acknowledge us, sit on the fence, deny us the rights that is justifiably ours.

Life is short at a certain point. You can create a hapiness with your own hands. Love is a moment being with the person you like, no matter the genders/sexual orientation. There will be some are still against it but we are more open minded it is a matter of time to accept the fact.

[@biggiesmol]

Decisions between consenting adults on whom they love should not be a crime. We should free ourselves from the veiled judge of religion and let people let live.

which school was it ? where was the internship ?

[@richardneo]

"When are you going to fire him ?" That's terrible and it comes from the people in Education ????? Come on these people who are supposed to have a wider word view and knowledge . How can we move forward if there are people in authority who refuse to come out of the dark caves. Are we still in the stone age ?

Look at the expression on Sherry’s friend at 1:57 .... the pursed lips and down turning of the lips ..she was disgusted as she had a mental picture of a man wearing lipstick And putting in make up.

[@ChillingatLP]

yes indeed

[@ChillingatLP]

Sherry can you really blame the restaurant for firing you when your appearance back then when you were transitioning is so unconventional and makes customers uncomfortable ?

[@ChantelLuv001]

just keep an open mind ? As long as the customer service is good thats what it matters .

[@kiamaknooi]

What is unconventional is your comment. Nothing wrong for those in transitional stages be out and about working or mingling in society. What is wrong is your mindset. What is wrong is your uneducated comment. A decent human wouldn’t even be uncomfortable with what others do with their lives. Heard of the saying: “Be comfortable in your own skin”? Open your mind up and accept those who are different. What makes you uncomfortable is because you tell yourself these processes aren’t normal. They aren’t for you. But they are for transgender. They need it to be comfortable in their own skins and their own selves.

[@spiderjump]

kiamaknooi he did not say he was uncomfortable..he said some customers might be uncomfortable.

[@ChillingatLP]

i am not bothered by trans people's appearance but many people are . the restaurant is first and foremost a business so if sherry adversely affects the business cant blame them for firing her.
