Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines Pink Dot, an annually recurring alternative to a pride parade in Singapore, a state known for its strict laws on public assembly and informal political norms against confrontational activist tactics. It analyzes how LGBTQ rights activists made use of a legal exemption to create a ‘pink dot’ gathering every year since 2009, transcended the regulated confines of a physical space, and overcame a public perception in their country that assemblies transgress the political order. It also assesses Pink Dot’s achievements and contributions to Singapore’s LGBTQ rights movement, including Pink Dot’s influence on legal reform, public assembly, as well as younger generations of activists.
