Keybox is the biggt gay sna Sgapore and has recently moved to a new 5, 000-square-foot space. One may thk that the morny of Sgapore would e along wh some gay rights. There are still no protectns for LGBT dividuals though, and gay marriage is still not regnized Sgapore.

Gay rights challeng asi, is fortg that Sgapore has gay bars and events that allow the LGBT muny to e together.

SGAPORE’S LATT RULG ON GAY SEX IS ‘COLD COMFORT,’ ACTIVISTS SAY

While we believe gay travellers should be exced to vis this cy, ’s important to be aware of the suatn before travellg. Unlike India, Sgapore has not ma the cisn to repeal this law, meang that unr Sectn 377A homosexualy remas illegal (technilly, the law says nothg about same-sex relatns between two women). Other parts of Sgapore’s Penal Co uld also potentially be terpreted to prosecute gay men, like sectn 354 on the ‘outrage of mosty’ or sectn 294A verg obscene acts public.

The media is even forbidn to promote “the glamorizatn of the homosexual liftyle” so the rare ocsn an LGBT character appears on TV they are portrayed as damaged and have to be ‘fixed’. While many members of the gay muny live their liv relatively unmolted, there is always a sense of a hammer wag to fall.

Public opn has gradually swung towards slightly more tolerance towards same-sex relatnships or even gay marriage, although is still not overwhelmgly favour. Pk Dot, the annual gay pri rally, started 2009 and grows year on year.
