Listen to this article
From the make-or-break election rallies in the early 1960s to crowds of investors angry over mini-bonds that lost all their value late last year, Hong Lim Park has been the site of history being made. Typically, those were tension-filled moments, with perhaps the high point reached when, in an unplanned way, Singapore Democratic Party leaders and the police locked horns in a four-day stand-off in 2006.
Time to do something different.
Come the 16th of May 2009, Saturday, at 4:30 pm, Hong Lim will witness another first -- and this time, there'll be no long speeches, no emotions running high. Just fun.
All Singaporeans who believe in non-discrimination and inclusiveness are invited to join in to make a pink dot. Yawning Bread

Good luck at your event.
Personally, I think you guys are too soft. At the core of this bigotry and social bias is organised religion — mainly the Abrahamic mono-theistic religions. I refer to sections of "The God Delusion" by Richard Hawkings and "God Is Not Great — How Religion Poisons Everything" by Christopher Hitchens, and suggest people read these great books in order to understand bigotry (racial, sexual etc) better. (Spoiler and hint: religion is at the root of these hatreds)
