"SINGAPORE: Men who were convicted under the now-repealed Section 377A of the Penal Code can check if their criminal records have been rendered spent and, if not, apply for their records to be treated as such.

After #Section377A, what will it take for #LGBT #persons to reconcile their #sexuality with their #family, #faith?
It is a #struggle for some LGBT individuals and their parents to make #peace. It is also a struggle for some to be #religious and #LGBT. The #documentary #RegardlessofSexuality examines how deep-seated the divide is.

"SINGAPORE - As it repeals Section 377A, the Government will also make clear in the Constitution that it is Parliament's prerogative to define marriage as being between a man and a woman [...] Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam said on Monday (Aug 22).
This is different from enshrining the definition of marriage in the highest law of the land, but will stave off legal challenges on the definition of marriage, he added."

"SINGAPORE: Three men have failed in their challenges against Section 377A of the penal code, after a High Court judge dismissed their court actions against the law that criminalises sex between men on Monday (Mar 30).
Justice See Kee Oon will release his full judgment grounds at a later date, lawyers told CNA outside the chambers shortly after the decision."

please let me know of any updates to this regarding #Section377A :)
While it's good to hear at least that the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor don't intend to prosecute reported cases of consensual sex between men, I hope these three challengers will win their case, and Section 337A gets repealed.Since this case explicitly mentions sex between men, I'm curious though what the law in #Singapore says about consensual sex between women?
