The crowds were inspiring -- from parents, families and friends celebrating and supporting each other to people of different sexual orientation were there to build up the atmosphere. Some came well-prepared with mats and were spotted having picnic. Many were enjoying the performances put up by organisers. Even dogs/puppies were among the crowds. The event was organised by Pink Dot.

Pink Dot is basically a non-profit movement started by a teeny weeny group of individuals who care deeply about the place that LGBT Singaporeans call home. From what I've been told, it's an event for everyone, more like a pro-family event to me where all people (regardless of colour or sexuality) meet together to commemorate love in all forms and between people regardless of their sexual orientation! What's more, support the elimination of prejudice against our LGBT communities.

Being a young Singaporean myself, and who doesn't have a hostile attitude towards homosexual, I think it is necessary for everyone to know that every person is “multi-layered”. Just like you and me, we are defined by more than just our sexuality. With that being said, associating religion with sexuality is the most stupidest thing a person would do when they have nothing else to defend their views. Am I wrong to say this?

Anyway, the highlight at the event was the human pink dot which was formed at around 5pm from a vantage point nearby! I hope you love this as much as I do! Finally, after so long, Singaporeans have a great understanding of diversity!
