Pink Dot 15 to 'celebrate all families', launches new initiative to support parents of LGBTQ+ people

The 15th Pink Dot rally, and the first to be held since the repeal of Section 377A in 2022, will focus on showcasing and celebrating the families of LGBTQ+ people in Singapore, Pink Dot stated in a press release.

The media launch saw a panel discussion titled, "What makes a family?", which included Associate Professor Teo You Yenn where she pointed out during the discussion that in many societies, the structural definition of family is often more rigid and narrow than the realities of actual families and lives. She added that increasingly, the public can see and feel that these "narrow prescriptions" of family are starting to not fit with the actual needs and aspirations of a diverse population.
