Police in Singapore scuttled plans for an all-night Christmas dance party, saying Thursday it would likely be a gay event because the organizers had previously held a ball where most of the revelers "seemed to be homosexual."

Singapore, an ultramodern city-state of four million people, still bans gay sex, defining it as ``an act of gross indecency'' punishable by a maximum of two years in jail. There have been few prosecutions, however.

A local company, Jungle Media, had planned to hold a party called Snowball.04 at a former disco from 9 p.m. local time Christmas until dawn.

Make the Yuletide gay..."
