It’s pretty common for anyone to feel pre-travel jitters, not knowing what to expect when they go to another country.
As the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, so one gay couple decided to turn to the internet for advice for their trip to Singapore.
Their question: What is it like in Singapore for gays?
According to a discussion thread started on March 18, Redditor u/RatchetMemes highlights an upcoming trip he is planning with his partner.
How’s it actually like to Travel to Singapore as a gay couple? from r/singapore
In the post, he shares some of his concerns about engaging in public displays of affection (PDA) as well as the law against homosexuality in Singapore. He is afraid that PDA may draw a backlash from Singaporeans.
However, Singaporeans took to the comments section to welcome the tourists to our sunny shores.
Many assured him that the law, referring to Section 377(a), is not widely enforced so he and his partner should not have a problem being comfortable in Singapore.
