PINK DOT 11: Let's Stand Together

[@yolodude594]

"Kids watch and learn" yet i see so many straight couples in public and yet i turned gay so i dont see their point (._.)

[@simplyeason]

SO TRUE WOW

[@TakoyakiAdventures]

Agreed. Such a misguided concept. May we all hope for a more understanding and loving future!!

[@Noa......]

You "turned" gay? How?

[@thepriceofsalt9003]

please don't say that you "turned gay" this supports the homphobes in their saying that kids can learn from gay couples being in public and "become" like them. you could say instead that in the end, you realised you were gay despite being raised in and surrounded by a heteronormative environment.

[@smolbuns8108]

I can feel the sadness. The disappointment, yet the determination and pride they have. They are not afraid to speak which is difficult in a "conservative" place like Singapore. I'm so proud!

[@TakoyakiAdventures]

Yes!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

To thine own self be true. Shakespeare. Be brave, strong and true. That's the way to live your life!

[@fawadkhan5624]

To be yourself is great and desirable. But the quote you are pointing at doesn't mean it. This line was said by Polonius in Hamlet as an advice to his son, Lartes, and wasn't a direct advice from Shakespeare. That line actually means "always put yourself first, be selfish, do things which only benefits you". It doesn't say to be true and honest to yourself. That selfish advice was given by Polonius to his son. If you were to know Polonius's character in Hamlet, I'm sure you wouldn't take a single piece of advice from him, instead you would even question your preconceived notions if he were to agree with you. In short, the meaning which you may have inferred is appreciable, but that's not the intended one. This advice is just a part of Polonius's mean and dystopian character. So quoting this line somewhere may land people in confusion. I wouldn't want that misunderstanding if I were you. So just correcting. 😊

The staff who asked the lady and her date friend to leave said kids learn. Then you teach them properly lah. Also teach them right from wrong. Cos hurling hurtful words is also wrong what. How lame. You want to talk so much you teach lah. Parents and adults are responsible for teaching kids at a young age. Might as well teach kindness and respect despite differences and differing opinions and choices.

Diana A unlikely it was a staff member or even the manager... most likely it was the owner of the cafe.

[@martins2542]

Heartbreaking. And inspiring. I remember going to PinkDot when I still could - no I'm not allowed to. But I'll always support brave and beautiful people standing up for their right - to live and love how and who they want. Kudos.

[@dimitrim7864]

Great message Pink Dot11, thank you for sharing your stories. I wish every one courage as they tell their stories today.

[@bonsaijimmy]

I will like to embrace all of you !

[@henrysugar7778]

The reality of how badly some religious people behave is contrasted against the love that comes from the Pink Dot Movement. The truth has put me off from my former religion. I am now a supporter of the LGBT Community...may you all find strength to weather the bad that comes your way.

[@isniffnailpolish]

While watching this I nearly cried tbh as I’m a Demi boy (an afab as well) and a bisexual who is closeted and my parents are very much against such things especially as they are Singaporeans as well so I face dysphoria in school and sometimes on a daily basis as I want to be referred to as either Geo or Karl but people in my community were unwilling and keep dead naming me now as I am writing this comment as well…but I’m also really to happy hear that there are others who face this issue too and I’m not alone in this

[@Melissa05121992]

I love to join pink dot one day. Sadly only Singaporean can go in 😢

[@JiaWeiLee-ss9lq]

Are you from Malaysia? I'm Malaysian and I really would like to join!

[@TakoyakiAdventures]

Yes. My grandma is from Singapore but I am an US citizen. Haven't been able to visit pink dog events

[@danpakoman]

May Singapore join the rest of the developed world and 1) decriminalize all LGBTQ people by dismantling all applicable criminal laws; 2) protect LGBTQ civil rights by legislation; and 3) pass laws requiring judges to be forbidden from anti-LGBTQ bias at sentencing. Until Singapore makes such revisions, less foreigners from the developed free world will visit your beautiful country.

[@spiderjump]

Only male - male sex is criminalised in Singapore.

[@kitty2527]

i think if people in this group wants to gain acceptance then they need to do something positive to the society cos there was a US army transman that earn my respect, life was not easy for him to be in the US army but he gained the trust and respect of those guys cos instead of whopping in self-pity, he concentrate to prove his worth and that changed my view, he does not partake in any Pinkdot or Pride Parade cos he feel that if a person want to be accepted then showcase what you can contribut to the society. Discriminations is everywhere so shine your own light so that people will see you in different light. There is a Chinese saying, it goes like, a person that keep seeking showing how sad , how..... will also drew the irritation and annoyance of other people. Look what you can bring to the table and gradually people will not talk down or hurt you anymore and even if they do, do you need such people in your life, you have a choice to ignore them. Right !

[@eddiensw]

Yes, Be there foe one another!

[@GKP999]

It is really sad and upsetting that the prime minister of Singapore continues to sit on the fence and refuses to repeal 377a.

[@peterchew4018]

Stubborn or what

[@spiderjump]

what you expect ? he wants to retain power mah... lgbtq at most 4 percent of population .. why should he risk upsetting the majority of the voters?

[@GKP999]

@@spiderjump I recall him saying that the law was left intact as the country is still conservative, and for the sake of harmony. Do you mean he is just like any other common politician who only cares about votes and being re-elected? No, he can't he a liar! LOL!

[@qinnquiny]

Stay strong everyone 💪💪

[@arrowstheorem1881]

Singapore Gays dare to Protest! Thumbs Up! I, a hetero dare not protest! Gays or Ah Kuah has more balls than me! Gays are therefore not weak! They too can form our Defence force! Gays have more Moral Courage than heteros?
