You have no idea.
Wikipedia: Section 377A of the Penal Code (Singapore) criminalizes "gross indecency" between men which includes consensual, private, adult homosexual acts. The penalty is up to two years' imprisonment.
There was a debate in parliament a few years ago where Section 377A was openly discussed and it was decided that the section would remain in place but would not be enforced.
Regardless, living here, in particular reference to this issue can be likened to living in Canada during the 1970s. Ignorance with a mix of juvenile humour. It's not pretty.
And KirStang, you are right. It's not a great counter-argument. Rather it was me throwing my hands in the air (like I just don't care).
