Dr Vincent Wijeysingha, Singapore's only openly gay (former) political candidate, today announced his decision to quit the Singapore Democratic Party as his coming out two months earlier had caused debate. In an exclusive column for Fridae, he reveals his "one concern in mind that cannot wait for history to take its course", and his plans to get more involved in LGBT and other human rights issues.
Japan's southernmost prefecture will be having their own Pink Dot event on July 14, in support of LGBTs. Co-organiser Hideki Sunagawa tells Fridae guest writer in Okinawa, Muneerah Bee, how he came to be inspired to organise the event in his home city.
Three well-known public personalities – Michelle Chia, Ivan Heng and Mark Richmond – have been named the 2013 ambassadors of Singapore's fifth-installment of Pink Dot, a rally to support the freedom of LGBT people to love.
Some 10,000 or more Singaporeans are expected to join the Pink Dot rally on Sat, June 30 to show their support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Singapore but for some of us, it may not be easy or possible to be there...
On June 30, 2012, Singaporeans will, for the fourth year running, gather at Hong Lim Park to form a human pink dot in support of the belief that everyone deserves the freedom to love, regardless their sexual orientation.
An estimated 10,000 people turned up at Hong Lim Park on Saturday as a show of their acceptance of LGBTs in Singapore, and support for inclusiveness, diversity and the freedom to love.
Google Singapore has become the first international company to officially support Pink Dot 2011. Fridae speaks with Google's Ann Lavin and finds out how Google Singapore came to support the event, its commitment to workplace diversity and what they really mean when they say "being yourself is a job requirement".

I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes. I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night; I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late; I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like country’s peace, I like metropolis’ noise; I like the beautiful west lake in Hangzhou, I like the flat cornfield in Champaign. I like delicious food and comfortable shoes; I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh. I always wanted to be a great writer, like Victor Hugo who wrote "Les Miserable", or like Roman Roland who wrote "John Christopher". They have influenced millions of people through their books. I also wanted to be a great psychologist, like William James or Sigmund Freud, who could read people’s mind. Of course, I am nowhere close to these people, yet. I am just someone who does his thing his own way,But my dream is still alive.I believe that if your not busy living then you are busy not living. NB:Not interested in cam or hookups. I am real, you be real, too.
