Singapore to end ban on gay sex
Singapore will repeal a law that bans gay sex, effectively making it legal to be homosexual in the city-state. The decision comes after years of fierce debate.
Professor Khoo Hoon Eng is a spokesperson for SAFE Singapore, set up to support parents and family members with LGBTQ children or siblings. She told Newsday: “It is the right thing to do, to let people live their own lives and be their authentic selves both at home, at work and they are also people who are part of our community.”
