同性恋节目新加坡遭遇严打

近日，新加坡一家国家级电视台因播放了一档有关同性恋生活的节目, 被指“宣扬了同性恋生活方式，”而受到1.1万美元的罚款。

A Singapore television station has been fined for airing a show that depicted a gay couple and their baby in a way that “promotes a gay lifestyle,” the city-state’s media regulator said Thursday.

The Media Development Authority fined MediaCorp TV Channel 5 US$11,000, it said in a statement on its Web site.

The station aired an episode of a home and decor series called “Find and Design” that featured a gay couple wanting to transform their game room into a new nursery for their adopted baby.

The authority said the episode contained scenes of the gay couple with their baby and the presenter’s congratulations and acknowledgment of them as a family unit “in a way which normalizes their gay lifestyle and unconventional family setup.”

The episode was in breach of rules on free-to-air television programming, which disallows content that promotes, justifies or glamorizes gay lifestyles, the statement said.
