A British colonial law, it is based on the Victorian era Labouchere amendment, the same law which criminalized Oscar Wilde in England a century ago. This film looks at two constitutional challenges being taken by Tan Eng Hong and Gary Lim and Kenneth Chee between 2010 and 2014, one resulting from a conviction as the result of sex in a public toilet, the other brought by a couple who have been together 16 years. This is a film in the Ghost Empire series, which looks at the impact of British colonialism on laws around the world. Half of the countries which currently criminalize homosexuality use British colonial laws or revised versions of these laws. The film also explores state censorship, Christianity and other colonial legacies including the death penalty. See less
