Singapore – Ban on homosexual relationships to be abolished
In Singapore, relationships between men should no longer be punishable. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced on Sunday that a criminal law dating back to British colonial times would soon be abolished. He believes the situation has changed since 2007, when the then government decided to keep the law, and that homosexuals are more accepted by society today than they were then, Lee said.
Paragraph 377A, which dates back to the colonial era, provides for a maximum sentence of two years imprisonment for homosexual practices. It hasn’t been used for years, but activists have long criticized it for contradicting the increasingly modern and dynamic way of life in the Southeast Asian city-state.
Attitudes towards homosexuality have changed
However, Prime Minister Lee made it clear on Sunday that the previous definition of the institution of marriage will remain unaffected by the abolition of the criminal law paragraph. Singapore’s law only recognizes marriage between a woman and a man, he said, announcing that the definition would be enshrined in the constitution. “Most Singaporeans don’t want our mores to change drastically with the repeal of the penal code,” Lee argued.
Before the prime minister’s speech, an alliance of the evangelical churches in Singapore had strongly opposed the abolition of the criminal law. According to the opinion research institute Ipsos, however, only 44 percent of Singaporeans are now in favor of criminalizing homosexual relationships. Four years ago it was 55 percent. (apa)

I try to be very careful with my lifestyle and my physique. I want to show my parents and everyone watching me that being HIV-positive is no longer being skinny and sick,” explains Lolita Banana. “I am a gay, queer, drag queen, HIV-positive, Latino, immigrant adult… and I’m doing great! adds the drag queen. In the confessional, Lolita then explains to the camera the concept U = U (Indétectable = Intransmissible in French): “My viral load is undetectable, that means that I cannot transmit HIV”. A little later in the show, Lolita drives the point home by parading with the message U = U written on her hands. And Lolita Banana to pass on an important prevention message: “For people who are afraid to go get tested for HIV, know that we live very well today with HIV. On the other hand, if you’re scared and you don’t get tested, that’s the problem”. A rare moment of visibility for people living with HIV on a mainstream entertainment show. Hats off to the artist!
