Singapore’s decision to lift a colonial-era ban on sex between men is long overdue and will not end discrimination of LGBT groups in the city-state, rights activists and members of the gay community have said. On Sunday, Singapore’s prime minister announced a repeal of 377A law, which prohibited sex between men. “It’s just a small, little step,” Andre Ling, 44, said from his home in Singapore where he lives with his Australian husband and their two-year-old son.
