WP said that mutual accommodation and tolerance are critical considerations for legislation.
Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced Sunday the country will repeal a colonial-era law criminalising gay sex, though he maintained that the government will continue to "uphold" marriage as between a man and a woman.
It will provide ‘some relief to gay Singaporeans’ while also retaining ‘the basic family structure of marriage between a man and a woman’, PM Lee said.
Singapore announced it will decriminalize sex between men by repealing a colonial-era law while protecting the city-state's traditional norms.
PM Lee said the repeal of the old Penal Code entry would be limited and that the government would amend the constitution to ensure that there could be no constitutional challenge to allow same-sex marriage.
