	Singapore gay equality movement - SgWiki
		The homosexual community in Singapore, like many other gay communities in the modern developing world, faces discrimination from both Singapore's culture and laws in that it is subjected to stigma and potential prosecution even for private, adult, consensual sex.
		Consensual, private, adult homosexual acts are not illegal in the majority of East Asia and thus Singapore is one of the few countries still with this law (see Homosexuality laws of the world).
		The organisation and the homosexual community in general recognise that in view of the prevalent social stigma and political control, the struggle for reform and the eventual attainment of complete equality will be a daunting one.
