Singapore's Nation Party
Singapore's third annual Nation dance party was held
recently and hailed as the most successful yet with
an estimated 4500 people attending the party. Described
as the Mardi Gras of Asia, organisers attributed the
large turnout to an unusual amount of favourable local
and international press coverage. The CEO of Fridae.com
Dr Stuart Koe said "On behalf of the GLBT community
in Singapore, we are deeply grateful for the opportunity
to celebrate (Singapore's) National Day in such a spectacular
and meaningful way. It is a clear display of how tolerant
and accepting the vast majority of Singaporeans are,
and I am proud that our government has the courage and
fortitude to embrace gays and lesbians".
