377A: Singapore to end ban on gay sex

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced Singapore will repeal a law that bans gay sex.

Another promising development came after Singapore's Minister of Law and Home Affairs Shanmugam announced that the government would review the law that criminalises sex between men.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced that they will repeal the law.

In the BBC news, Prime Minister Loong said, "gay people are now better accepted" and scrapping 377A would bring the country's laws in line with "current social mores, and I hope, provide some relief to gay Singaporeans".

“We finally succeeded; This discriminatory law will be lifted, we are very happy”

"We finally did it, and we're ecstatic that this discriminatory, antiquated law is finally going to be off the books. There's a sense that maybe it took a little too long, but it had to happen, you know. Today we are very, very happy," gay activist Johnson Ong told the BBC.
