Nicholas Snow The Federal Kuala Lumpur—An historic hotel in the center of it all!

LIVING HISTORY

 

Not surprisingly, one of the very first hotels one will discover in researching a place to stay in Malaysia is The Federal Kuala Lumpur, high on the radar not only because of its prime location in the heart of Bukit Bintang (the central business and shopping district), but also because of its place in history as “modern Malaysia’s first international-class hotel.”

Nicholas Snow Nicholas Snow's Notes From The World: "For Asian Gays, Everyday is Fridae!" (A profile of Dr. Stuart Koe)





If you met Stuart Koe on a dance floor you could assume he might be a personal trainer, a bartender, a fashion model—these are the obvious choices based upon first glance. When first visiting Fridae.com, one of the world’s leading LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer) web sites, you might initially think it’s all about dating. Truth be told, Stuart is not only a Doctor of Pharmacy in HIV medicine, but the entrepreneur behind… Continue

Deeply privileged—that’s a how I describe myself at having a single opportunity to interact with a spiritual superstar like Venus Perez (my words, not hers), let alone chronicle the lives of such extraordinary individuals on a regular basis in this column. And deeply privileged—that’s how you will feel as well by the end of this read!

Ram and Kevin Callen are as married as they can legally be in the United Kingdom (where they have Civil Unions), but the story of their lives and ultimate meeting is extraordinary. I came to meet them in cyberspace because of my own online outreach as an openly gay, openly HIV positive journalist and activist, and then in person when they recently vacationed in Thailand—but we start this story in India where Ram grew up.

I don’t believe any of us covering the red carpet arrivals for the Brokeback Mountain premiere in Hollywood, November 11, 2005, had a clue that we would truly be a part of history, helping launch a movie that would transform the lives of countless people around the world because of its profound capturing of the cost of the closet.
