If this is being used as the justification, then South Korea must also be 
changed. Same problem.

Reasons for Cancellation of IETF 100 Meeting in Singapore, and the IAOC 
understands that to be:

“    Singapore laws against same-sex relationships between men and
   preventing the recognition of same-sex marriages could create
   difficulties for same-sex partners and their children; these have
   discouraged affected members of our community from participating
   at the IETF meeting in November of 2017 and have also influenced
   others to decline to attend in principled solidarity with them.


   Accordingly, the IETF has decided to postpone indefinitely the meeting
   in Singapore and is pursuing alternative venues.”
