Pink Dot Singapore 2025 Singapore

Info

Pink Dot, Singapore, takes on Saturday the 28th June 2025.

Pink Dot SG 17 is a movement for a stronger, more open and inclusive Singapore. The rally aims to raise public awareness about issues faced by LGBTQ Singaporeans and to signal to LGBTQ people here that they are loved and valued in Singapore. With openness and acceptance, we hope to bring LGBTQ Singaporeans closer to their family, friends and communities. As Pink Dot 16 approaches, we’ll need your support to rally and amplify LGBTQ+ voices, advocate for change in Singapore and celebrate the freedom to love.

Pink is the colour of our ICs. It is also the colour when you mix red and white – the colours of our national flag. Pink Dot SG stands for an open, inclusive society within our Red Dot, where sexual orientation represents a feature, not a barrier. Sex between consenting gay adults is still illegal, though the law is not enforced. The gay community still faces challenges, and Pink Dot events and activities aims to remind people in the city state of gay rights. Safe to say, the LGBT community in Singapore has been subject to a multitude of hate speech and bigotry.

Pink Dot recognises that many Singaporeans are conservative. However, we also recognise the dangers that prejudice and bigotry can have on our social fabric. We are mindful that in some countries, hate crimes towards the sexual minorities have spurred outcries and social unrest. Most LGBT Singaporeans are afraid to come out of the closet. This stems from a fear that the simple act of telling the truth can potentially pull them apart from the people that they love. As such, many of them live their lives dodging questions about their romantic life, hiding their true selves from concerned family members and friends.
