Chingay is also for Gays?

It's party time at the F1 Pit Building, where the Chingay Parade is in full swing.

The second night of the parade kicked off on Saturday evening with special greetings from President SR Nathan and Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong.

Some 7,000 performers turned the streets into party land.

The street parade will be followed by Singapore's biggest street dance party.

Organised by the People's Association Youth Movement, it's a time for party lovers to take to the dance floor which stretches across 360 metres in front of the Pit Building.

Chingay 2010 was the first time the general public were allowed to march in the parade. Members of Singapore's LGBT community, Kim and Roy, formed the first gay contingent ever to participate in the Chingay procession.

They took part on the first day of the two-day event held at the Formula One grandstand and Singapore Flyer vicinity, on Friday, 19 Feb 10 at 8 pm.

This video shows the contingent members dressed entirely in pink and waving a rainbow flag while marching and dancing.
