Singapore's LGBT Group (Pink Dot) is holding its first ever rally and has produced a wonderful public service announcement about LGBTQ people in Singapore. It is very moving. The rally will be held in Hong Lim Park on May 16th. The following is an excerpt from PinkDot about the organization, rally, and video:
Everyone should have the freedom to love, regardless of sexual orientation. But fear, ignorance and prejudice often stand in the way. At PinkDot, we believe the first step to overcoming these barriers is for open-minded segments of society to come together. If you too feel that LGBT people deserve to express their love just like any other Singaporean, please join us at Hong Lim Park on 16 May 2009.
In this video, straight Singaporeans from different walks of life come together to talk about the LGBT people in their lives. Among the known faces are celebrity blogger Xiaxue, actress Pamela Oei, actors Lim Kay Siu and Lim Yu Beng, Dave Tan and Amanda Ling from local band Electrico, as well as Pink Dot's ambassadors Neo Swee Lin, Rosalyn Lee and Timothy Nga.
