Singapore to end ban on gay sex
Every year tens of thousands of people attend LGBT rights rally Pink Dot in Singapore
But on Sunday night, Mr Lee said they would abolish the law as he believed "this is the right thing to do, and something that most Singaporeans will accept". A coalition of LGBT rights groups called it a "hard-won victory and a triumph of love over fear", adding it was the first step towards full equality.He had said the government would ensure better legal protection for the definition of marriage as one between a man and a woman. This would effectively make it harder for gay marriage to be legalised.
Though the law technically criminalises sex between men, it is effectively seen as a ban on homosexuality.
