“One of the main impetuses for me to create GagaOOlala, to kind of dispel a lot of the myths and misconceptions that a lot of people might have about LGBT people,“ said Jay Lin, a prominent LGBT rights activist in Taiwan who founded the platform. Gay sex is still banned in Singapore as it is in Malaysia, where in the past year women and men have been caned under Islamic laws for having same-sex relations.
