Say something cool about pride: Over the last few years (though possibly longer, I might just not have paid attention), my workplace allows its workers to attend the Pride parade even if they were scheduled to work and even actively offers the possibility of carpooling to get there. There was a bus picking up workers from a few stores some years back.

Say something cool about pride: There are over 30 different LGBTQ+ pride flags, each representing a unique aspect of the diverse LGBTQ+ community.

Say something cool about pride: The original pride flag colors were pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo, violet, but 2 of the colors got removed. Pink due to there being difficulty finding fabric in the particular shade of pink, and the turquoise being removed to keep the number even for symmetrical looks, giving us the iconic rainbow pride flag we know today!

Say something cool about pride: Singapore's equivalent to Pride is Pink Dot, a gathering restricted to our only free speech zone, the dimunitive Speakers' Corner in Hong Lim Park, and limited to citizens and permanent residents. Yes, we're a painfully conservative South-east Asian country. But we still show up! \o/
