Singapore's LGBTQ+ community still faces discrimination three years after anti-gay sex law repeal

Saturday, 4 July 2026, 06:23 · 1 min read

Three years after Singapore repealed Section 377A — a colonial-era law criminalising gay sex — LGBTQ+ individuals in the city-state continue to face institutional and workplace discrimination. The 2022 repeal was accompanied by a constitutional amendment enshrining marriage as exclusively heterosexual, limiting LGBTQ+ access to housing, loans, and government services; more recently, the Ministry of Health banned hormone replacement therapy and puberty blockers for transgender people aged 21 and under. A 2026 report by Transgender SG found that transgender individuals are six times more likely to be unemployed than the general population, and advocates note that no major party addressed LGBTQ+ rights during the 2025 general election, underscoring how far legal and social equality remains from reach.
