- This year, Pink Dot aims to highlight the
ongoing marginalisation of LGBTQ+ people in
post-repeal Singapore and their exclusion from
conversations around our country’s future.
Amid promises from Singapore’s 4G leadership
to include everyone in our shared future, our
event features an active call for park-goers to
submit messages to PM Lawrence Wong,
sharing their personal stories, hopes, and
anxieties.
Through this initiative, we seek to educate the
public and our leaders about the challenges we
face as a community. While LGBTQ+ rights
encompass issues like marriage and adoption,
they also involve fundamental needs such as
having a roof over our heads, accessing
healthcare, and feeling safe in our families,
schools, and workplaces.
Queeroddity was given exclusive invite to speak to the attendees that night, asking them about their experience and how Singaporeans can do their part to foster a more inclusive society.

Of course, PAP will say there is no institutionalized discrimation!
I have lived openly in a relationship with my Singapore partner in Singapore for over 34 years. However, I am not allowed to go to PinkDot. I hope the many Singaporean friends that love us and we love could go in my place.
@@danieljlea it’s a pity that the civil regulations doesn’t allow foreigners to participate. But be rest assured, we are truly stand in volume, as Singaporeans! Thank you for your comment and we hope you and your partner well.
Happy Pride!
No thanks to the religious/conservative group who subscribe to American right wing bs. They made noise n gov pander to them.
It broke me when i found out i couldn't participate in this event last year as a foreigner. It was going to be my first pride event. and i couldn't tell no one at that time because i was closeted. it made me felt isolated.
In any society, we can generalise depending on the conservatism, religion or inclusive attitude eg. The younger generation is less judgemental & more accepting of gays. However, visit any public library . There are no books explaining the reality of Homosexuality because the government has a policy of not promoting Homosexuality. This is similar to Proposition 8 in California & Section 28 of the UK - both have been repealed. Gay Pride celebrations around the world welcome everyone . Singapore is the only country which bans foreigners from attending. The fine is S$ 10,000 & 6 months jail !!!😢 Pink Dot has to fight against this ridiculous xenophobia.
