Singapore - August 2022
Gay sex decriminalized
Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced on 21 August that the government will repeal Section 377A, a colonial-era law that criminalizes sex between men. While hailed as a step in the right direction for the acceptance and safety of LGBTQIA+ individuals, numerous rights groups have expressed concern surrounding Mr. Lee’s accompanying statement on amending the Constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, to prevent future judicial challenges.
