Focus of Pink Dot rally this year on Section 377A

SINGAPORE - Hong Lim Park was awash in shades of pink on Saturday as the local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community gathered for the annual Pink Dot SG event to highlight discrimination against them and the focus this year was on the law which criminalises sex between men.

Actress and theatre director Beatrice Chia-Richmond said much of the discrimination faced by LGBTQ people can be attributed to Section 377A. She also encouraged others to"call out" discrimination and bullying in schools and at the workplace. The night ended with a big display formed by attendees holding up pink and white lights that formed into a call for the repeal of Section 377A.

Mr Clement Tan, a member of the Pink Dot organising team, said the initial plan for the light-up had been to spell out the word"together", but the team decided on Thursday to change it to read"repeal 377A" in response PM Lee's comment. The gay couple got married in a small ceremony in South Africa attended by their families in May. Mr Lee Hsien Yang said he decided to attend to show his support for Mr Li and his husband.
