No, I do not believe that same sex marriage will ever become legal in Singapore. This is because there are many different races in Singapore, and many of them still have traditional Asian beliefs that disapprove of single sex marriages. As for the people of New York, they are more open and willing to take on fresher ideas. Hence, I feel that single sex marriages will never become legal in Singapore.
Most of the people in Singapore, I would say are still deeply in belief of traditional beliefs that marrying a person of same gender to you is morally wrong. As Singaporeans mostly consists of Asians, many of us will be bonded in our many Asian values, one of which is disapproving two people of the same gender being married with each other. There have only been a few cases in Singapore, and there has already been so much negative feedback made by our Singaporeans about this topic. When there are so many people opposing such a belief, it is unlikely that they will change their view point about it, and many people will hence not want Singapore to be a country that legalizes single sex marriages. Thus, I really doubt the fact of Singapore ever becoming a single sex country. An example would be China. I also doubt China will be a single sex country at all, since almost everyone there are Chinese, and Chinese people believe in people with different genders getting married, and no single sex ones. They even have more traditional beliefs, such as believing that men that have wives with little feet will bring them prosperity. It is obvious that China will not ever become a single sex country with so many traditional beliefs. Furthermore, Chinese immigrants migrate to Singapore for various reasons, and bring their beliefs with them. These will influence us and furthermore prevent us from ever believing in single sex marriages, and we will thus not support the law if same sex marriages ever became legal in Singapore.
