We’re gearing up for Pinkdot #2 and you can help by coming to our fundraising tea party:

http://pinkdotsg.blogspot.com/2010/03/pinkdots-tea-party-fundraiser.html

On 16 May 2009, a pink dot was formed on the little red dot of Singapore, when 2,500 fellow citizens turned up at Hong Lim Park to make a stand against prejudice and apathy. This year, it is our hope that this inspiring beacon of inclusiveness continue to shine – brighter and stronger than before.

You’re invited to our fundraiser!

By purchasing tickets to the party, you’ll go some way towards helping us defray costs of staging Pinkdot this year. With entertainment provided by Hossan Leong, Emma Yong and Voguelicious, in a snazzy setting with luscious nibbles and refreshments courtesy of House, this fundraiser looks set to be a rollicking, fun-filled prelude to our main event in May.

So put on your party best (pink please) and bring all your bff’s (all shapes and shades are welcome). Let Pinkdot’s message of love ring even louder and clearer this year!

When: 3.30 to 6.30pm, 28 March 2010, Sunday

Where: House / Barracks Café, 8D Dempsey Road

Wear: The colour of our IC

Tickets @ S$50, inclusive of drink and finger food, sponsored by House.

Presenting:

Emma Yong

Unquestionably one of the great actresses and vocalists in the local theatre scene, Emma was recently seen in Glen Goei’s film, The Blue Mansion. She is also well-known for being among Singapore’s favourite stage trio, the Dim Sum Dollies.

Hossan Leong

A popular stage and screen actor, as well as comedian, Hossan has appeared in numerous plays and television shows. He performs regularly with the Dim Sum Dollies and was also part of the Chestnuts series of plays. To date, he has performed in more than 50 plays and many television programmes.

Voguelicious

The fanciest and sexiest dance crew in Singapore, Voguelicious has been described as THE male Pussycat Dolls. Watch them perform and they promise to “send shivers” down your spine!

DJ KFC

A regular at Loof and OverEasy, DJ KFC’s ‘no music, no life’ philosophy has taken him through the multitudes of musical genres with true verve and appreciation. Known for throwing different genres into his mixes but always keeping the vibe and energy on the floor, his heart and soul shine through his feel good sets.

DJs Twoface

Probably the only cutesy girl disc jockey duo in Singapore, Grace Sunami & Linda How, aka DJs Twoface, never fail to come up with the freshest and juiciest tracks to keep those dancing shoes moving.

The Pink Dot organising committee

Over 150 LGBTQI activists from all over Asia are expected to participate in this 3-day conference. At present, there are around 100 LGBT organizations that are members of ILGA-ASIA. Special attention will be given to equal representation of women and transgender persons. The conference is not exclusive to LGBT-identified individuals but is open to all people who support the rights of all gender and sexually marginalised groups.

The conference is open to people of all sexual identities and orientations supportive of LGBT issues and concerns in Asia. ILGA’s conferences are traditionally open to all, members or non-members of ILGA. However, some agenda items, called ILGA MATTERS, are for ILGA members only. Activists can either fund their participation by their own means or apply for a scholarship.

Objectives: To move Asia’s LGBTIQ communities and organisations towards a common vision, mission & goal, and to draft an action plan for cooperation amongst ILGA-Asia members.

Implementing organisation: The ILGA-Asia Board mandated Gaya Nusantara to be the host organisation for the 4th ILGA Asia Conference in Indonesia.

About ILGA

The International Gay Association (ILGA) was set up in 1978 in England to provide a forum for LGBT activist groups to network and exchange information. The World Conference was the forum where members came together and was the vehicle by which ‘action’ was initiated. ILGA became ILGA in 1986 and in the 1980s, its work expanded to regional meetings and projects beyond the world conference. Today, ILGA is a world-wide federation of more than 560 local, national and international member organizations, representing every continent and around 90 countries.

The ILGA-Asia has been the largest and the most diverse in terms of coverage area. It had its first regional conference in Mumbai, India, 2002; its second regional conference in Cebu, Philippines, 2005.

The third regional conference was held on 24 – 27 January 2008 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Around 160 LGBT activists from Asia [representing 16 countries] and beyond gathered to discuss LGBT issues under the motto “Equality in Diversity Now!”, and to elect a working Board for the first time.
