So much fun at Pink Dot this year! Went with Rahmat, Sam & Herman but I bumped into Dy, Shan & Lorettaaaa! <3 There were free drinks, torches, balloons and lub ( believe it or not) been given out. But aside from all the fun and free gifts, being here meant more than having some place to head to on a Saturday night. It meant seeing the world change, seeing the perspective of people change and grow and evolve. I am ashamed to say that there are events like this, only because this means that being homosexual is an issue. What does it matter who you love or who you want to kiss. Is love not love? Some people love their pets to a point of distraction, is that not love? Then why isn't it shunned?
But events like this show that there is hope for us yet. And till the day where being homosexual or a transvestite is looked upon just as greatly as being a pet owner is, events like this continue to give millions hope. Never have I been prouder of being a Singapore. This to me, means everything that Singapore stands for. Regardless of who you love, you should always be treated with respect, integrity and empathy. Regardless of race, language or religion and regardless of who you love. With positive and supportive people like this who continue to support everyone, regardless restrictions here in Singapore, our someday will come.
Thank you for the wonderful times!
