One step forward, one back? Singapore's compromise on LGBTQ equality.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : In a compromise with conservative and religious groups, Singapore will also be revising its constitution to protect the definition of marriage between a man and a woman, creating significant hurdles for marriage equality.
46% : This will make it impossible for LGBTQ advocates to mount constitutional challenges in the courts, like those that led to the legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan, the first country in Asia to do so, and in the United States.
45% : Yet, with the conservative People's Action Party holding a supermajority in government, marriage equality is not likely to happen in the near future.
