Find and Design

A Singapore television station, recently aired an episode of “Find and Design,” the A&E syndicated home and decor show, featuring a gay couple wanting to transform their game room into a nursery for the adopted baby. The station has now been charged with promoting “a gay lifestyle,” the city-state’s media regulator said Thursday. The Media Development Authority fined MediaCorp TV Channel 5 $11,000.

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.”

Recently, StarHub Cable Vision was fined $7,200 for airing a commercial that showed two lesbians kissing.
