Wild that there are people who take enough time out of their day to pass laws against it.
I only ever think of gay men when I’m made aware that some countries have laws against them. Otherwise I’m never aware of any “public displays” because I don’t care what boys are doing with their mates.
Yes, I feel the same. And the same can be said for those who are unwilling to repeal remaining laws. It is disturbing that MPs in Singapore regularly refer to Section 377A of the Singapore Penal Code as "dead letter". If it is truly dead letter, why not skip lunch, and repeal it?

Don't be so quick to dismiss. There are lots of great community fundraisers in San Francisco that feature drag queens. Sure, the audiences will be, on balance, more queer people than average, but these events are still lots of fun for any human being.
I lived in the second gayest city in America for a good while and I wasn’t walking in on gay orgies. I don’t recall a single instance of gay public affection despite being outside often, but I also don’t recall any straight instances either because I don’t care about it. I have good success finding desirable partners and don’t hold feelings of jealousy or anything so any instances of PDA leave my mind because I don’t care about them.
It seems like either a personal problem, or a problem with lawlessness in general. Would you be happier walking in on straight orgies? Is that legal in Singapore? Seems wild that they’d allow that, but your post implies it.
When you wrote "bridge", I assume you meant either the "Johor–Singapore Causeway" [1] or "Malaysia–Singapore Second Link" [2]. There are two bridges that connect Singapore to another country -- both lead to Malaysia.
Are you familiar with LBGT rights in Malaysia? Just a quick look at the Wiki page [3] says: <<Penalty: Up to 20 years imprisonment with caning, fines, and deportation. Muslim citizens may be charged in Islamic court. Vigilante executions and beatings are also tolerated.>> That doesn't sound like a good place for LGBT people.
Same-sex marriages have no legal recognition and gay couples cannot adopt children. No laws exist to prevent discrimination against gay people in employment or housing.
