SINGAPORE : Police have rejected an application by Jungle Media
to hold a party called SnowBall.04
It was to be held at the former Warehouse Disco along River Valley
Road on Christmas Day.
In explaining its decision, Police say the organisers - who also
held the Nation.04 event - had given assurances that these would
not be "gay parties".
But Police noted that promotion materials were widely advertised on
a known gay portal fridae.com.
Police say at the Nation.04's opening ball at Suntec earlier this
year, patrons of the same sex were seen behaving intimately.
Several complaints were also received about the openly gay acts
there.
Police reiterated that while they do not discriminate against gays,
they recognise that Singapore is still largely a conservative and
traditional society. - CNA
