There was a feature on the coming out book, SQ21, in the Sunday Time today on page L22. The article featured Hoon Eng, a mother of two gay sons. There is also a write up on Fridae with interviews of Nicholas and Sheila (http://www.fridae.com/newsfeatures/article.php?articleid=1737&viewarticle=1)

The launch of "SQ21 - singapore queers in the 21st century!" will be on Thursday, 23 March 2006 at Mox Bar as part of Indignation. Details are at http://www.plu.sg/indignation/?p=36. The book will be sold at a discounted price at the launch and all proceeds that night will go to Oogachaga's community services (www.oogachaga.com).

=Book launch at Borders=

The men and women from SQ 21 did a launch near the front entrance of Borders bookstore along Orchard Road on Saturday, 2 September 2006 at 2pm by sharing and reading some of their stories. The event was eminently public. The LGBT community was urged to go and support them as it meant a lot to the panel of sharers. One of the people who read that afternoon was Khoo Hoon Eng, a mother of two gay sons. So if you know any family or friends who need to hear her story do bring them along.

The books were available for sale at Borders.
