...being drawn between gay and straight nightlife. Beautiful young girls in short dresses are dancing to techno with their boyfriends at the Water Bar disco in Chinatown on a Saturday night, right next to a group of funky gay Asians, while a more mature Caucasian in black is doing Mick Jagger imitations with a tall, brush-cut young Chinese in baggy jeans. But wander over to Taboo, the must-go, packed-out gay disco on Tanjong Pagar, and you will find a bevy of gay teenagers from every race bopping on a podium in the corner and half the room...
