2,500 people – straight and gay – turned up at a park on a humid and rainy Saturday afternoon to support the “freedom to love” regardless of sexual orientation and show their support and acceptance of LGBT people in mainstream society.

Acclaimed poet and playwright Alfian Sa’at of Asian Boys Trilogy fame shares his thoughts about acceptance, diversity and community as he went around Singapore with the Pink Dot placard persuading people to pose with it.

The LGBT community and its allies are urged to come out and be counted at what organisers call "the first-ever official LGBT public gathering in Singapore."
