(Singapore) - Former Singaporean prime minister Lee Kuan Yew has questioned the city-state's ban on sex between men. "If in fact it is true, and I have asked doctors this, that you are genetically born a homosexual -- because that's the nature of the genetic random transmission of genes -- you can't help it. So why should we criminalise it?" Mr Lee was quoted as saying in the pro-government Straits Times. Mr Lee's comments come at a time when many groups, such as Singapore's Law Society, are calling for laws against homosexual sex to be reconsidered, saying they are outdated.
