Why? Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 On 6/19/2022 at 10:25 AM, Guest guest said: What is the purpose of MPs attending Pinkdot? Wonder what they want to prove? Their presence in Pinkdot doesn't mean they will agree with us. Only if LHLor Shamugam attends, otherwise further discussion of us in the legislature will not make any progress in resolving the LGBT discrimination issue. Quote

If he is the MP for e.g. Kreta Ayer/Chin Swee constituency, then understandable to support support ... but he is MP for Kebun Baru (AMK/Nee Soon South) leh ... 难道 。。。 I think henry kwek is married.

Annually the choppers fly by dragging the flag is done on purpose to commemorate Pinkdot at Hong Lim Park. The fireworks set off at sports hub in the distance was also done to celebrate Pinkdot.

And then Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 On 6/19/2022 at 10:12 AM, Guest Guest said: The crowd who attended (besides being qualified voters for the next GE 😱) ... are they: - PLUs? - If straight, are they supporters of LGBTQ+ community? Or they are there just to join in the fun with their friends (some may be complete homophobes? 😱)? I see a lot of young people in the crowd (pictures). Not sure if some couples (Gs or Ls) jin daring and really kissed in front of everyone .... during the event. Pink Dot is like Pride Day (in other countries)? My observations while I was there Many many more girls than boys Most of the girls look like straight girls I really don't know how many are there simply for a good time/party, vs how many are truly supportive of LGBTI rights As for the gay contingent, it definitely wasn't inclusive. Mainly young twinks, with a tiny splattering of drag queens, muscle hunks, bears. Quote

Put up BL performances to attract all the straight 腐女，turn more straight girls into BL fans so that they support LGBT and oppose 377A? Quote
superflawless Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 I don't get why a lot of attendees refused to wear pink to a Pink Dot event. If you want to add rainbow accents, that's fine. But the top should be pink, even if the bottom is another colour. Then you see a sea of pink. Go watch the videos. Black, white, grey. Face palm. Just wear pink lah. Then it would look cohesive mah.

Guest Roy Tan Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 https://the-singapore-lgbt-encyclopaedia.fandom.com/wiki/Henry_Kwek's_views_on_LGBT_rights (click on the above link to see all the photos of Henry Kwek at Pink Dot 2022) Henry Kwek Hian Chuan (郭献川, Guō Xiànchuān; born 1976) is a Singaporean politician and businessman. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), he has been the Member of Parliament (MP) representing Kebun Baru SMC since 2020. First PAP MP to attend Pink Dot Pink Dot 2022 (officially called Pink Dot 14) marked the first time that a politician from the ruling People's Action Party attended the annual LGBT-supportive rally at Speakers' Corner, Hong Lim Park since its inception in 2009.[1],[2],[3],[4],[5]. Henry Kwek, who arrived at around 3:20pm wearing a light pink polo shirt with white trousers, was seen walking among the crowd, shaking hands with and posing for wefies with some fellow attendees. Before leaving just after 4pm, he visited the group stalls at the community tent, including Oogachaga, Quasa, TransBefrienders and The Greenhouse, and chatted with the people manning them. Speaking to Oogachaga executive director Leow Yangfa, he was particularly interested in the counselling agency's work supporting the LGBT community, asking questions about how it had been reaching out to people especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. He even graciously accepted a "Love & Acceptance" rainbow tissue pack to take with him[6]. However, Lim declined to comment on his reasons for being at the event when approached by the media, replying instead that the emphasis should be on the participants. He also posed for a photo beside a row of "letterboxes" with the names of 31 constituencies in Singapore, a new feature at Pink Dot that year. Attendees could write a message on a placard, hold it up for a photograph, print the photos out and write a message on their backs before placing the cards into the respective mailboxes for each electoral constituency. Pink Dot would then send the photos to the relevant MPs of the attendees along with an enclosed message if the attendee wanted to include one.

The family tea will be held on 2nd July 2023, Sunday, 3-5pm. Venue will be disclosed only to confirmed participants. // (2) Prout is currently in the process of creating our web-app that consists of LGBTQ-affirming service providers to help meet critical needs of the LGBTQ community in the following areas: Legal, Healthcare, Jobs and Housing.

We aim to create visibility and awareness that LGBTQ+ families do exist in Singapore, provide information resource for individuals or couples who intend to start their own family, form a support network for new & existing queer families through community groups, events & outreach programs, and to bring attention to issues that hinder our ability to raise our children in Singapore such as laws affecting adoption & citizenship, educational & housing policies, dealing with social stigmas & harassment, access to relevant information.
