As
a community youth group dedicated to safeguarding the welfare of young LGBTQ
Singaporeans, Young
OUT Here is deeply disappointed with the High Court of Singapore’s
decision to dismiss the constitutional challenge against Section 377a of the
Penal Code.
Such
a decision would have an adverse impact on the wellbeing of young Singaporeans,
many of whom face discrimination daily, in the form of teasing, bullying, and
even outright physical abuse.
Nonetheless, YOH and our allies remain committed to championing the safety and
welfare of Singapore’s LGBTQ youth, in the hopes that Singapore will one day
see them for the talented, unique individuals that they are.
