ICYMI: Andre Ling and Cameron Sutherland live in Singapore with their nearly 3-year-old son Tyler. While the couple appreciates the recent move by the Singapore government toward LGBT rights, they feel that it is only a 'small step'

Ling, 44, married Cameron Sutherland, 47, in Australia, where same-sex marriage is legal. But their marriage is not recognised in Singapore so they are not eligible for certain privileges afforded to married couples like subsidised housing. Even though Singapore's 377A, under which offenders can be jailed for up to two years, has not been enforced on consenting adult males for decades, some religious groups wanted the statute to stay, fearing that its repeal may promote homosexuality and challenge traditional family structures.
