PinkDot TO 2022

Special Event Organizer: Trisha Steinberg

Summer 2022 has been truly special to ACAS as we were able to bring back PinkDotTO as an in-person event. This has been made possible through our partnership with TD Bank Group and the continuous support of ViiV Healthcare. PinkDotTO was held on July 13th at Chinatown's Sky Dragon Chinese Restaurant. And for this year, the theme was "#togetherness." It was a night of celebration, promoting diversity and inclusion and helping revitalize artistry through various talent showcases powered by our talented community members. The night was jam-packed with a lineup of fabulous performances and a mouthwatering dinner treat. Best of all, PinkDotTO was attended by 260+ guests. Indeed, a night of fun, joy and laughter, and we at ACAS, hope to bring it back again in years to come!

What is PinkDot?

Pinkdot is a movement that started in 2009 supporting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer (LGBTQ) community in Singapore. Attendees of PinkDot events gather to form a giant pink dot in a show of support for inclusiveness, diversity and the freedom to love. This movement has inspired many worldwide. Since then, in a proliferation of solidarity, international LGBTQ communities have organized Pinkdot events in Anchorage, Hong Kong, London, Montreal, New York, Oklahoma, Penang, Kaohsiung, and Utah to just name a few. Our very first and own, PinkDotTO, was held in the format of an LGBTQ and allies’ Chinatown Pride March on May 24, 2014 in Toronto during Asian Heritage Month as a lead-up to the World Pride Human Rights Conference and World Pride 2014.
