In Singapore , politicians show up for Pink Dot despite scorecard grading their ‘family values’, say it’s important to engage different groups

Several speakers also took the microphone during the event, including Ms Anne Goh, a former national rugby player and volunteer for lesbian, bisexual and queer organisation Sayoni; drag artist Kira Moon, who was harassed and assaulte by a group of men in March; and Mr Clarence Singam, co-founder of counselling organisation for the LGBTQ community Oogachaga.

“To rank MPs on their stances on anything? I mean, when you start doing that, then I guess ultimately, what is the aim? What are you trying to show?” he said. Progress Singapore Party deputy organising secretary Jeffrey Khoo and assistant treasurer Lim Cher Hong were spotted with two members of the party’s youth wing.

“For us, it’s always been an important message that when they come to Pink Dot, it’s not so much support for the issue per say. We see this as an opportunity for leaders in this country to come and understand the LGBTQ community,” he said. Attendees at Pink Dot said they were there to stand up for inequality and to support their loved ones.
