Singapore continues to restrict gay content

According to the film reporter of Fars News Agency, quoted by varietySingapore will continue to restrict gay content even after decriminalizing same-sex relationships in the country.

Singapore’s government has announced that it will continue to restrict and classify media content with LGBTQ themes, even after its decriminalization program.

In 1938, Section 377A of the Penal Code was introduced in Singapore, imposing a two-year prison sentence for “any act of indecency” between two men, whether in public or in private.

The anti-gay law was strictly enforced in Singapore until 2010, but despite the fact that this law is still in place, it has not been strictly passed, but in the discussion of media and media content, the same procedure remains and content containing homosexuality is still prohibited.

In June, the screening of Pixar’s animated film “Lightyear”, which contains scenes and content of homosexuality, was restricted in this country. It also banned a book for children in which the main character included two same-sex penguins.

The country’s film law does not allow content that is considered to “promote homosexuality” or content that “depicts deviant behavior between people of the same sex.”
