SINGAPORE — The W Hotel in Singapore has found itself at the centre of the latest instance of the culture war over LGBTQ rights in the country.
On Monday (14 September), five-star luxury hotel, W Singapore at Sentosa Cove, posted a photo of gay influencer couple, fashion model Andee Chua and Taiwanese YouTuber Hugo Liu, on their social media. The hotel was promoting its staycations as travel restrictions remain in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the same time, W Singapore was also affirming its support for the queer community. “Celebrate (love)... Fab #staycations await at W Singapore!” said the hotel’s caption for the jolly photo of Andee and Hugo sharing a drink in their room.
The photo drew thousands of reactions and hundreds of comments from netizens on Facebook and Instagram. Comments ranged from the homophobic to the supportive ones. Netizens on both sides of the divide argued with each other over the issue of LGBTQ affirmation.
