Singapore’s move to strengthen laws against same-sex marriage could deal a serious blow to housing, one of the city-state’s most important assets and lifestyles for the country’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.
About 80% of Singaporeans live in government-subsidized public housing. Main property. Finding a new apartment is mostly geared towards young people and couples, with grants of up to S$80,000 ($57,000). LGBTQ applicants — who are categorized as single buyers — can enter the market only when they turn 35, to choose from smaller apartments and lower government subsidies.
