Singapore has strict policies restricting LGBTQ content within the city state’s publications, with lifestyle magazines being banned from promoting or glamorising “alternative lifestyles”.
Nudity – including “depictions of seminude models with breasts and/or genitals covered by hands, materials and objects” – is also prohibited.
The Ministry of Communications and Information said on Friday that it has issued the local edition of Vogue “a stern warning and shortened” its publishing permit.
“It had breached the Content Guidelines for Local Lifestyle Magazines on four occasions within the past two years, for nudity and content that promoted non-traditional families,” it said in a statement, without specifying which content broke the rules.
It added that Vogue Singapore’s one-year permit was “revoked” on Thursday.
