Singapore will decriminalise gay sex but there will be no change in the legal definition of marriage as being between men and women said Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday.
LGBTQ groups welcomed Lee’s decision to repeal Section 377A a colonial-era law that criminalise sex between men but also ruling out same sex marriage will perpetuate discrimination.
In the national day rally speech, Lee said Singaporean society especially young people in the state were becoming more accepting of gay people.
” I believe this is the right thing to do, and something more Singaporeans will now accept” he said. Although it’s unclear when exactly section 377A will be repealed.
Singapore becomes the latest Asian country to move towards decriminalising gay sex.
