SINGAPORE -- Singapore's state-owned television was fined S$15,000 (US$11,040) by the country's cens

or for promoting gay lifestyle by airing a program that showed a gay couple and their adopted baby, a newspaper said on Friday. The Straits Times reported that Singapore's Media Development Authority said the episode of home and decor series Find and Design, in which the host helped the couple decorate a nursery, "normalizes and promotes a gay lifestyle".

The pro-government newspaper said the censor had also objected to scenes of the couple and their baby as well as the host's acknowledgement of them as a family, because it broke a rule "which disallows programs that promote, justify or glamorize gay lifestyles."
