Guest guest Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yap... Ignore those 2 who trying to find trouble with us... They can behave in that manners, but we should not, if not we are no differences from those two. Enjoy the annual get together and celebrate the freedom to love. We are not doing anything against the law. NO ONE has the right to stop people from doing what they believe in, of cos their belief must not be against the law, race or religion. Those two can believe in their own religion but they HAVE NO RIGHT to force others to follow in what they believe and say because Singapore is build base on regardless of race, language or religion.. Who knows this yr turnout will be much more because of the publicity of the 2 person. I wont be able to turn up for the event cos need to work but will wear pink polo that day to support the event. To add on : i am really disgusted when reading an article that Mr Kong had wreot to his fellow pastors, particularly the sentence in serial 6 of the article that i have bold - "We must let our government know that, in allowing the Pink Dot Event to continue without restraint, they are more than tolerating the gay agenda. They are bordering on endorsing and emboldening the LGBT claim to gay rights. We must continue writing private letters to our Ministers. But we have come to the point where the Pink Dot Event is getting so unashamedly public and loud with their agenda that we can no longer just rely on private communication. " Earlier he challenge the MOM's decision and now he wants to pressure the Minister to make decision in the way he wants..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngouthere Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi Guys! Shameless plug here: PinkDot 2014 with Young Out Here!

Whether it’s for family, for friends, for love or just for yourself, join YOH at PinkDot on 28th June 2014 for a community inclusive Q&A, where if you don't have a question, you might just have the answer! P.S.: YOH has got some pleasant surprises in store for participants!

Bring yourself, bring love, bring a jovial attitude, head down there to enjoy a good afternoon and evening. Past PinkDot, there are stalls that distribute free food and drinks, Not too sure whether will there be this year.

Guest BO JI Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I believe many gay people will attend. I believe gay people got more JI (Seeds) than straight people. If you got more JI in you, go alone or with crowds will not bother you at all. Just go, and show these extremist relgion bodies that you have more seeds than them. Vincent has came out to defend us at the expense of his childhood story, Roy has came out at the expense of being sued left, right and center by PM, Alex has came out at the expense of being sued by AGC, every gay have to some extend did our part for the straight people. It is time to do our part for ourselves - by attending pinkdot. Is that so difficult and annoying to you that you kept sitting on the fence wondering how to get there, what to wear and what to do? If you can find your way to clubs and sauna, standing at the public toilet for minutes to hours while taking in all the shits, why not attend pinkdot 2014 to regain your dignity. See how proud, brave and dignified these people are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abang Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Just like the unofficial public referendum in Hong Kong where the participation rate exceeded expectation 6 folds, I believe and trust that this year, the crowd will hit a new record high... with the LGBTQ community and our friends attending in full force.. not forgetting the many international observers and those who "opposed" our sexual preference... It would be interesting to see whether the police will be there to maintain LAW ....Last year, the underpass towards Hong Lim Park was so crowded but we, the participants were so co-operative and everything was in control. For the very young boys who is still deep in the closet (without parent's knowledge), I understand your predicament. - if you don't have a pink clothing item, just wear any light-coloured clothes...you can always paste a PINK DOT sticker/decal on your T-shirt.... It is the spirit that counts... You may also want to go to a $2 shop and get anything PINK... they stock tons of useful PINK items - from kitchenware to stationery.. surely your parents won't question you why you have a PINK FOLDER ..

The police on June 26, 2014, issued an advisory to the public ahead of this Saturday's Pink Dot event, urging attendees to "keep the peace" and reminding organisers to steer clear of race and religion. By Nur Asyiqin Mohamad Salleh SINGAPORE - The police on Thursday issued an advisory to the public ahead of this Saturday's Pink Dot event, urging attendees to "keep the peace" and reminding organisers to steer clear of race and religion. This is the first time the authorities have done so in the five years since the pro-gay event was first held, and comes as the event organisers have taken the unprecedented move of deploying security personnel to manage crowds and potential "unruly behaviour". These moves have come as some Muslim and Christian groups have called on people to join a "Wear White" campaign against Pink Dot and homosexuality, raising the prospect of a protest at the event itself. However, on Thursday night, the people behind the Wear White campaign told its supporters to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Those were the days... Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Every year counts. We do not know when the govt is going to stop such event completely. So guys, treasure every moment that is given to us now. We can't guarantee what will happen next year, the year after next. Singapore is a very backward country, at least mentality, socially and politically. The recent verbal wars between LGBT and religous group is testament to the challenge for us. Come to pinkdot and give it the full shot like it will be the last because we never know what the landscape will be like in future. Just like ford Road/Plaza Singapura was defaced and never the same before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
