One might assume that a step in the selection of a location is to look at some
advice for travellers.
One such source of information is the US State Department. (Not the source of
all wisdom, but a source of some information.)

https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/singapore.html has a
sizeable section on LGBT rights and associate issues.

Yes, this is hard to get right and people make mistakes.
Yes, move on.

How do we move on so:
- this problem stops being a problem for IETF 100
- this problem does not recur
