Record crowds at singapore gay rights rally
As the days dragged on, some of the gay rights advocates were less hopeful that they would be able to hold rallies in Singapore when the ruling party finally won an election in 2016. Many others did not believe that the party would do anything to protect human rights and that politicians in power would actually defend the right to equal rights in Singapore.
