The rights of lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender,and queer (LGBTQ) people in Singapore have evolved over the decades. Same-sex sexual activity is legal for both males and females;for men it was officially legalised in 2022 after being de facto decriminalised since 2007,and for women it was always legal. Prior to 2022,same-sex sexual activity between males was de jure illegal under the British colonial-era Section 377A of the Penal Code. The law had been de facto unenforced for decades. In February 2022,the Court of Appeal in the Supreme Court reaffirmed that 377A cannot be used to prosecute men for having sex with other men,and that it is "unenforceable in its entirety". Transgender rights in the country are also progressive in the region,which included Singapore being the first country in Asia to legalise sex reassignment surgery in 1973.
