I'll never understand why people care what consenting adults do behind closed doors.

Singapore inherited this law from ancient times and it was just never changed.
The weird thing is that man+man = nono, but two women was never an issue.

It's not really weird. It's like all the homophobic guys that are perfectly content watching lesbian porn.

sure, but my thinking was that Singapore is a family-oriented place, so any threat to the core family would be bad, so how come man+man is bad while women+women is not.

Because the law is from an ancient time where being gay was only socially frowned upon if you were male

I'm not sure I would agree that 1938 constitutes ancient times. Relatively modern history, considering there are still quite a few people alive in Singapore now who've been there since before the law was passed.
