KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Singapore announced Sunday it will decriminalize sex between men by repealing a colonial-era law while protecting the city-state's traditional norms and its definition of marriage.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong says 'private sexual behavior between consenting adults does not raise any law and order issue' and promises the repeal won't change how marriage is defined in the country.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he believed it is the "right thing to do now" as most Singaporeans will now accept it. However, he said the city-state does not plan to allow for same-sex marriage.
