From Singapore Ending Gay Sex Ban to Hungary Investigating Netflix for LGBT ‘Propaganda,’ This Week in Int’l LGBT News – SouthFloridaGayNews.com
Singapore ends its gay sex ban, and Hungary started an investigation into Netflix for potential LGBT propaganda after two females shared a kiss in a children’s TV show.
Singapore Ends Gay Sex Ban
The decriminalization of gay sex in Singapore is being hailed as a victory for LGBT rights in the Asia-Pacific region, a huge continent with almost five billion people and diverse laws and attitudes.
Only a small number of jurisdictions permit same-sex marriage, partnerships, or unions, despite the fact that many have decriminalized sexual actions between people of the same sex. Singapore moderated its judgment by announcing that it will change its constitution to forbid such marriage from ever occurring.
According to ABC News, many of the laws prohibiting males from having sex with other men in the region were put into place during British colonial control in the 19th and 20th centuries, and often refer to such actions as breaches of the “order of nature.”
Hungary To Investigate Netflix For Potential LGBT Propaganda

A recent episode of the children’s animated series “Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous” included a kiss between two adolescent females that may have violated Hungary’s 2021 prohibition on LGBT-themed content directed at kids.
According to news from Breitbart Europe, Netflix has been the subject of an inquiry by Hungary’s national media regulator. Hungary’s National Media and Communications Authority (NMHH) is investigating Netflix after receiving complaints over the “Camp Cretaceous” episode from concerned parents on the right-wing petition website CitizenGo.
Despite the fact that this appears to be a violation of the Hungarian law banning trans and other LGBT content aimed at children, it is unclear whether the NMHH will be able to sue Netflix over the cartoon given that Netflix Hungary is registered in the Netherlands. As a result, the Hungarian media regulator may need to bring the matter up with Dutch authorities before any action is taken.
