Public support has nevertheless been growing for gay rights, with thousands turning up for the Singpore's annual Pink Dot gay rights rally (pictured here)
Singapore Wednesday warned the US against interfering in its affairs after the American embassy in the city-state, where gay sex remains illegal, co-hosted a webinar with a prominent LGBT group.
The invitation-only event on "The Economic Case for LGBT Equality" was held Monday and co-organised by the US embassy and Singapore LGBT rights group Oogachaga.
Singapore authorities are frequently criticised for their record on gay rights, particularly a colonial-era law criminalising sex between men, and are sensitive to any perceived foreign interference on the issue.
