Change is afoot in the conservative city state with a softening of attitudes and growing tolerance of gay issues, which some members of the LGBT community and academics attribute to the November lifting of a ban on sex between men.
But the historic lifting of the ban was not all welcomed by LGBT people.
The repeal of the gay sex ban was not universally welcomed.
LGBT issues are appearing in the typically conservative domestic media, known for toeing the government line.
The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore this month advised teachers to "address socio-religious issues, including LGBT issues, with wisdom, kindness, compassion and mercy".
