The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) has issued their official stance on Section 377A of the Penal Code.
A spokesperson for the party said: “We would not object to a repeal of S377A if it is only to remove the criminal punishment against homosexuals. But currently the debate over 377A is not just about criminal punishment.
“377A has become a proxy combat zone for other issues like the sanctity of traditional family structures, marriages, parenthood and gender identities.
“These are long-standing human and moral institutions. So before 377A is removed, there must be guarantees that these institutions remain undisturbed.”
Section 377A criminalises sex between men, stating: “Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or abets the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years.”
