Singapore’s renowned pride celebration, Pink Dot, makes a comeback on June 29 for a one-day event at Hong Lim Park.
Pink Dot 16 is the sixteenth edition of an annual LGBTQ+ rally featuring an array of activities, speeches, communities and families uniting, and epic performances at the Pink Dot Concert to finish the evening. This year is extra special because it’s the second event since the repeal of Section 377A. This year’s theme is ”No One Left Behind” which focuses on the ongoing marginalization and discrimination faced by the community in Singapore.
