On Sunday, several LGBTQ rights groups said in a joint statement they were "relieved" by Mr Lee's announcement.
Some religious groups including Muslims, Catholics and some Protestants continued to resist any repeal of the law, Mr Lee said. Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious society of 5.5 million, of whom about 16 per cent are Muslim, with bigger Buddhist and Christian communities.
Great… Now Singapore has just been flushed down the shitter..!
This should be an important moment for gay rights. It's the least we can aim for really.
What about sex between women?
Between men but mutual masturbation. There are no reciprocal organs between men
. Sounds fair... So long as they're not praying on children, who cares what they do. .
Accepting sodomy without decriminalising it.
why should they care about marriage, its an insecure way of keeping someone when its all about signing a contract
It's a good step forward for Singaporeans.
Where can you buy a monkeypox umbrella here?
Does it make sense? I thought marriage encourage longer term loving bond and reduces sexual prowness. In Christianity new testament mentioned gay marriage is not encouraged, not condemned but prohibites married couples engaging sex even flirting with either gender
Maybe they should wait until Monkeypox isn’t a thing.
Just because there haven’t been convictions doesn’t mean the oppressive, outdated law isn’t a complete embarrassment. Shall we applaud not being an asshole?

Left-wing Americans ‘changed’ pro-Palestine view when confronted with ‘true facts’Progressive Americans changed their perception once they were shown the 'true facts' of Palestine's treatment of the LGBTQ+ community, filmmaker Ami Horowitz says. Mr Horowitz travelled to the West Bank and interviewed Palestinians to see what they think about gay people and then played that footage back to progressive Americans. He said 'every single person' he spoke to 'changed' their pro-Palestine position – with one American questioning the accuracy of the left-wing narrative on the issue. 'People are less jaded than you think and when confronted with facts and you have them captured in the sense they're now listening to you ... you can change people's perceptions once the facts, the true facts, are given to them,' Mr Horowitz said. Similar to what happened when Liberal voters in Warringah went Teal from the sheer disgust with Libs..that's what you are arguing isn't it, that we should all be disgusted with the Coalition...OK Got it They simply stuck to their LGBT views
