Everyone should have the freedom to love, regardless of sexual orientation. But fear, ignorance and prejudice often stand in the way. At PinkDot, we believe the first step to overcoming these barriers is for open-minded segments of society to come together. If you too feel that LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) people deserve to express their love just like any other Singaporean, please join us at Hong Lim Park on 16 May 2009.
In this video, straight Singaporeans from different walks of life come together to talk about the LGBT people in their lives. Among the known faces are celebrity blogger Xiaxue, actress Pamela Oei, actors Lim Kay Siu and Lim Yu Beng, Dave Tan and Amanda Ling from local band Electrico, as well as Pink Dot's ambassadors Neo Swee Lin, Rosalyn Lee and Timothy Nga.
I cried watching this. I know for a fact that most of the people featured in the video are straight, but still, they go all out by supporting the cause of the LGBT community. A fact on why it is so different from the Taipei Pride March is that Taipei Pride steers more to a more flamboyant and sex route, which, to me doesn't really help in straighten the perspective of the public towards us. Thank you, Pink Dot for organizing such a wonderful event, and most of all, i want to thank a special person (whom i seldom speaks to but i still cherish him as a dear friend) for sending the link to this video and alert me about the event.

Like what the priest (or doctor?) said - sexuality is such a small matter compared to all our lives. Why let it hinder our happiness and the way we lead life?
