Supporting the 'Freedom to Love' in a bold statement of solidarity on Saturday, 26,000 turned the green space of Speakers' Corner of Hong Lim park into a glowing pink dot. The number of attendees is over ten times that of the inaugural event in 2009.
Amidst reports of rival protests from religious groups in the city, Singapore will hold its sixth consecutive Pink Dot event on Saturday 28th June at Hong Lim Park from 5pm.
The LGBT community and its allies are urged to come out and be counted at what organisers call "the first-ever official LGBT public gathering in Singapore."
