Gay and Lesbian Trail @ Penang

Yep,there is a gay and lesbian guide to Penang.
Complete with listings of gay run or gay friendly establishments,pick up points,spots etc.
Everywhere you turn,there's another couple hand in hand.

Penang is just so gay n les,we straights are beginning to feel a little bit odd.
They're all over the place and they're certainly not shy about their sexuality and not in the least hiding at all,I tell you,no matter how many raids have supposedly caused them to go underground.
It hasn't.
They're on tour,staying two doors down,dining with their partners,next to you at the traffic lights,serving you fried chicken while checking you out.

Look,I don't wanna jabber on and on .
Am posting this up so that you don't end up passing the wrong message to the same sex across your table,at a rocky beach,in the complex,at the pool etc etc.Like what happened to me, when my antenna swung the wrong signal in the direction of a tomboy,drawing unwanted clothes piercing attention while waiting for my order to arrive at Nando's in Gurney.Had to keep my eyes peeled on my chicken for the entire duration to ensure she understood that I wasn't interested .

You might want to keep tabs on this list,so that your children don't get mistakenly identified by predators as the new blood,unless of course.....you made the mistake of herding them into Chung Ling or PCGHS,two reputed hotbed breeding grounds for unleashing the next wave of urm fresh cattle upon us =__=

Jack and Jill hiked up Penang Hill,
each searching for a partner,
Jack got down on John  ,
as Jill came,romping with Esther.
