“Of Communities and Spaces” LGBTQ+ Tour [Saturday, 28th December 2024]

In 2022, Section 377A of the Penal Code was repealed in Singapore,

A new future begins in Singapore. But what really goes beyond 377A? Is there a future for us, and what is in for us? How are the struggles of the LGBTQ+ community similar to those of our forefathers and the first settlers of Singapore?

Join Ron on this specially curated tour, as he will bring you on a tour that covers the LGBTQ+ history and local Singapore history and how they shape the way local communities and spaces are through his unique storytelling and personal experiences.

A truly unique tour not to be missed!
