The law:  Section 377A of the Singapore Penal Code criminalizes sex between men, regardless of whether it’s consensual.

Now maybe we should take heart this was down from 2014 where a survey 78% of the people thought same sex relationships were wrong.  

I remember being rather horrified with Singaporean friends reaction to the mention of gay men.
(Side Note: I gave the daughter a M/M romance novel... she rips through the series and wanted more and was pissed when two of the men didn't get together... BIG CHANGE! I truly believe we change hearts and minds with every page of M/M romance we write and read.)

I have yet to watch this but I'm too excited not to share this immediately.
