Goldman Sachs is a stand-in for the kinds of international companies that might have offices in Singapore. Being an international finance hub is valuable to singapore and those companies will often employ lots of western expats in the country. Those expats are likely going to care about this and they will make their employers care somewhat about this too.

New York and London are also international financial hubs, and don't seem to have problems with people being gay. I'm not sure we can blame investment banks for this one.
For example, sure it's marketing copy, but I don't think a company that wanted to make laws against being gay would bother with this: https://www.goldmansachs.com/our-commitments/diversity-and-i...

The people you're replying to are saying that companies like Goldman would greatly prefer for gay sex to be legal.

I see. I was so confused by the original comment that I guess my brain stopped working.

The claim above is saying the opposite of that.
