More than 10,000 people dressed in pink gathered at Hong Lim Park yesterday at about 6.15pm to form a giant pink dot.
This was more than twice the number who turned up last year.
Pink Dot 2011, the third so far, was organised by a group of local volunteers to raise awareness and foster deeper understanding of the basic human need to love and be loved, regardless of one's sexual orientation.
Participants were treated to an hour-long concert featuring performances by the Dim Sum Dollies, Sebastian Tan and dance group Voguelicious.
