About Pinkdot TO! What exactly is Pink Dot? Is it what you cover up on your face with makeup? Is it what you try to clean out of your clothes after a highlighter explodes? Or is it those bits of strawberry in your ice cream? It’s a movement for equity for LGBTQIA+ folks that centers around Asian folks! It started in Singapore, spread worldwide, and eventually to Toronto in 2014. We get to have our very own Pink Dot in T-Dot! In 2019, we reformatted the event as a talent night to empower our creative community members to share their talents and passion on stage. It’s a space where Asian LGBTQIA+ folks can showcase their talents, speak up, and shine! Because, really, where are we in all of the LGBTQIA+ spaces? Well, we’re right here! Lesbian, gay, trans, gender non-conforming, bi, pan, intersex, ace, aro, and anyone else who doesn’t fit into this cisnormative heteronormative world is more than welcome here! So are friends, families, and allies!
