YOUR DESTINATION, IN CONTEXT
Singapore has a published GLD Country Score of 60/100, in the Medium range.
Singapore combines exceptional transport and tourism infrastructure with a controlled public environment and incomplete LGBTQ+ legal equality. Repeal of the former criminal provision was significant, yet relationship recognition and some limits on public expression remain relevant.
