The findings come amid a renewed push by gay rights activists in the city-state to overturn a British colonial-era law that bans gay sex.
Under Section 377A of Singapore’s Penal Code, a man found to have committed an act of “gross indecency” with another man could be jailed for up to two years, although prosecutions are rare.
