context_page_description: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons in Singapore face challenges not faced by non-LGBT residents. Same-sex sexual activity is illegal, and the Attorney-General of Singapore has declared that prosecutions under Section 377A occasionally still occur, although sources state that the law is not well enforced, and is being challenged in courts. Same-sex relationships are not recognized under the law, and adoption of children by same-sex couples is illegal. No anti-discrimination protections exist for LGBT people.
  Singaporean society is generally regarded as conservative. Despite this, LGBT events such as Pink Dot have taken place every year since 2009, with increasing attendance. In line with worldwide trends, attitudes towards members of the LGBT community are slowly changing and becoming more accepting and tolerant, especially among young people.
