A slim majority of Singaporeans still support a law that bans gay sex, an online survey showed on Monday, amid renewed debate on whether the city-state should follow India’s footsteps and scrap similar British colonial-era legislation.
Previous legal challenges to overturn the ban failed but a prominent Singapore diplomat called on the gay community to renew legal action against the law, a day after India’s top court decriminalized gay sex in a landmark ruling.
Fifty-five percent of 750 Singaporeans surveyed by independent market research and consulting firm, Ipsos still supported the ban.
