Singapore gays in first public rally

Halfway across the world, as police moved in to break up a gay rights protest in Russia, another country known for being equally as restrictive on liberal ideals was holding its first gay rally undisturbed.

Some 2,500 pink-attired supporters of gay rights gathered in a park in Singapore on Saturday, to form a pink dot, which was photographed from a nearby building.

The organisers of the event, pinkdot.sg, say the event was held to commemorate love in all forms and between people of every orientation.

In Sinagpore, no change in Govt’s stance towards gays

JUDGING by the flurry of letters and online posts after recent events, conservatives have been worrying about possible efforts to lobby the Government to relax the OB markers on homosexuality.
Yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng made it clear this would not happen. “The Government was not going to be pressured into changing its position on homosexuality before the takeover of Aware (the Association of Women for Action and Research). Nor does the Government intend to change its position now that the Old Guard has recaptured Aware,” he said in response to questions put to him by Today.
.And that position — as stated by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Parliament in October 2007, and reiterated by Mr Wong — is this: “Singapore is basically a conservative society and … a heterosexual stable family is the norm.”
.At the same time, homosexuals are “entitled to their private lives”. See No change in Govt’s stance towards gays
