Singaporeans call for legalization of gay sex

by Rex Wockner

Thousands of Singaporeans have signed an online open letter to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong urging legalization of gay sex.
Parliament reportedly is planning to decriminalize oral and anal sex between heterosexuals but leave in force Penal Code Section 377A, which bans "gross indecency" between men under penalty of two years in prison.
Gays have found a friend in the nation's founding prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, who, in April, stated: "If in fact it is true — and I have asked doctors this — that you are genetically born a homosexual, because that's the nature of the genetic random transmission of genes, you can't help it — so why should we criminalize it? … Let's not go around like this moral police … barging into people's rooms. That's not our business."
The elder Lee is the current prime minister's father.
