🧵THREAD (1/9): In 1972, 50 years ago, the New Nation newspaper published two 4-part series on gays titled "They are Different" & on lesbians titled "Outsiders". They are fascinating historical insights to how LGBT issues were viewed at the time. (2/9) Part 1 of "They are Different" revealed "there are more gay people in Singapore than we realised".
