(to the extent they're known), the issue with Singapore is not that they
do not recognize same-sex marriage but that they have laws criminalizing
same-sex relationships.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Singapore they
criminalize "male same-sex sexual activity".
I don't know if that's what you mean by "relationships", but in the strict
sense of the word, Singapore doesn't criminalize the actual relationship.
It doesn't even criminalize "same-sex sexual activity". It criminalizes
"MALE same-sex sexual activity".
Since you said "for the purpose of clarity" and "stick to the facts", I
thought this needed to be clarified.
