【Pink Dot】西九拒租場 移師室內辦線上音樂會 盼將來大草坪上團聚
This year marks the 11th anniversary of Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅. The large-scale LGBT carnival originally scheduled to be held at the West Kowloon Cultural District on October 12 was unable to proceed after the other party refused to rent out the venue without providing a reason. The organisers instead continued the event in the form of an online concert at The Mills on Sunday (November 2). COLLAR member Marf Yau and C AllStar member On Chan served as Pink Ambassadors. About 250 people attended, including singer Anthony Wong Yiu-ming and former Civil Human Rights Front convenor Jimmy Sham Tsz-kit.
今年是「Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅」第11週年，原定10月12日在西九文化區舉行的大型同志嘉年華，惟對方在未有提供原因下拒租場地。主辦方轉以線上音樂會形式，周日（11月2日）在南豐紗廠延續活動，COLLAR成員邱彥筒及C AllStar成員陳健安擔任粉紅大使，現場約250人出席活動，包括藝人黃耀明及前民陣召集人岑子杰。

藍奕邦對Pink Dot 遭取消感難過 指活動對香港大城市國際形象何其重要
The large-scale LGBTQ+ carnival “Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅”, scheduled for October, was forced to cancel after the West Kowloon Cultural District declined to rent it a venue without providing a reason. Singer Pong Nan, who is gay, said he was saddened by the cancellation, describing “Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅” as the only remaining large-scale outdoor LGBTQ+ event in Hong Kong. He said its existence was important to the community and society, and “even more so to the international image of a major city”.
“Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅” has been held in Hong Kong since 2014 and has received sponsorship and support over the years from around 30 multinational companies and organisations, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank and Starbucks. The event was held at the West Kowloon Cultural District in each of the past two years. Last year, Pong Nan, Yan Ting and entertainer Wong Ha-wai served as Pink Ambassadors, while P13XL, Serrini, Sica, Siufay, Cheung Tin-wing and Lui Sam-yu were among the singer performers.
原定10月舉行的大型同志嘉年華「Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅」，在西九文化區未有提供原因下拒絕租出場地，活動被迫取消。本身是同性戀者的歌手藍奕邦對場地被取消感到難過，指「Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅」已是本港僅存唯一一個大型戶外 LGBTQ+ 活動，認為其存在性對社群重要，對社會重要，「對一個大城市的國際形象更何其重要」。
「Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅」自2014年起在香港舉辦，活動多年來一直獲約30間跨國企業及機構贊助支持，包括摩根大通集團、美國銀行、滙豐銀行、渣打銀行、花旗銀行及星巴克等。活動過去兩年都在西九文化區舉行，其中去年便由歌手藍奕邦、周殷廷及藝人黃夏蕙擔任粉紅大使，另有P13XL、Serrini 、Sica、小肥、張天穎及雷深如等歌手作表演嘉賓。

Pink Dot 被取消｜西九無原因下「無法租場」 總監：惹揣測，影響國際形象
Hong Kong’s major LGBT carnival “Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅”, scheduled for October, announced today (31st) that it had been cancelled because West Kowloon was “unable to rent out the venue”. The event’s director Siu Fai (Prof) Leung said that, as in previous years, an application to reserve a venue at the West Kowloon Cultural District had been submitted early this year. More than two months ago, West Kowloon said the event could be held on 12 October. However, the two sides only inspected the venue this Monday, and that evening the organisers suddenly received notification that the venue could not be rented, with no explanation given. Siu Fai (Prof) Leung said the incident had prompted public speculation: “It makes people wonder whether it is related to the Legislative Council election or the same-sex partners registration ordinance… (West Kowloon) not giving a reasonable and public explanation will only create more speculation, and may to some extent affect the image of an international city.” The Collective has contacted the West Kowloon Cultural District and is awaiting a response.
原定 10 月舉辨的香港大型同志嘉年華 「Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅」，今（31日）宣布因西九「無法租出場地」取消。活動總監梁兆輝指，一如以往、早於今年初已向西九文化區預留場地申請，西九在兩個多月前提出可於 10 月 12 日舉辦活動；雙方本周一才視察場地，當晚卻突接獲通知稱「無法租出場地」，亦未有解釋原因。梁兆輝指事件惹來公眾揣測，「令人諗係咪同同立法會選舉、或同性伴侶登記條例有關…（西九）唔畀合理同公開嘅解釋，只會製造更多揣測，或多或少影響國際城市形象」。《集誌社》已向西九文化區查詢，正候回覆。
