(Singapore) - Oral and anal sex in private between consenting heterosexual adults would be legalised under a Bill introduced in Singapore's parliament. Under the city-state's first major penal code amendments in 22 years, a section criminalising “carnal intercourse against the order of nature” would be repealed. But while the Bill takes a softer line on heterosexual sex, a ban on acts of “gross indecency” between males will remain. Gay rights activists have said authorities have not laid charges under the section in recent years, even though it remains in force.
