Singapore Pink Dot Guide 2018: Events To Go and Who To Call In An Emergency
Pink season is upon us in Singapore, with the annual Pink Dot event coming for its 10th run:
Leading up to Pink Dot is a series of events for LGBTQs and allies, and even tourists who are not able to enter the actual Pink Dot event but can attend other events as part of Pink Fest, a festival of events organised independent of Pink Dot by members of the LGBTQ+ community.
