A safe destination
The countries listed in this section have anti-homosexual laws, but the laws of that country are not officially implemented and are in practice.
Asia
India
Delhi High CourtOn July 2, 2009, it decriminalized homosexual behavior in a historic judgment. However, in 2013 the Supreme Court ruling overturned this decision and restored the 153-year colonial prohibition against homosexuality. However, in fact this law has not been enforced, and you cannot be arrested for it.
- Most of the events are held in private and are not easily discovered by the public, but inBangalore、DelhiwithMumbaiWaiting for the city to develop rapidly.
- On June 29, 2008, four cities in India (Delhi、Bangalore、PondicherrywithCalcutta) Pride events were held simultaneously, and the first official parade was held in the gay community in Mumbai on August 16, 2008.
- However, participating in gay-related activities and demonstrations, or publicly proving that they are gay, is often rejected and unacceptable by the local people. Another point is that if you publicly behave as homosexual in many places, the local police and laws will not provide safety protection for homosexuals.
- Although India claims to be anti-homosexual in terms of politics and religion, gays and lesbians openly holding hands or kissing and other emotions will not be punished, and it is a very common practice among members of the same sex across the country.
Singapore
Homosexuality is illegal in Singapore and theoretically will be fined 2 years in prison. However, the current government policy is not to enforce the law, and there are some prominent figures who are engaged in homosexuality in the fashion and entertainment industries. However, there are still many shortcomings in the attitude of ordinary people towards homosexuality. Government departments and the military do not pay much attention to homosexuals. Showing off your sexual orientation publicly may attract public attention and whisper, but you are unlikely to experience physical violence. Having said that, the acceptance of homosexuality is slowly and steadily increasing among the younger generation. In view of the low rate of violent crime in Singapore, unprovoked violence against homosexuals is in fact almost unheard of.
