Last Monday, W Singapore - Sentosa Cove posted a picture of me and my partner on their Instagram and Facebook account, and it went pretty viral. The post quickly became one of the hotel’s most engaged post, garnering hundreds of comments, shares and thousands of likes.

We were overwhelmed with mixed emotions. The hate was expected given Singapore’s open antagonism toward the LGBTQ community, but the rush of positive & encouraging comments were very heartwarming.

Kudos to all the media Yahoo, Mothership.sg, Coconuts Media, AsiaOne.com, The Independent Singapore, Mashable for shedding light on this incident. It reminds us that we are still a pretty conservative society with Penal Code 377A still around, but we are indeed taking steps forward to a more inclusive and accepting society.

Even Marketing Magazine Group mentioned it as a positive case study for the ad industry. It is a progressive theme in Singapore’s highly conservative marketing industry - https://bit.ly/32KUoRJ

Let us all do what we can to embrace differences, be more inclusive, and spread love & happiness!
