Angry Activist Happy Hour, or AAHH for short, is our response to a need that was identified in our engagements with queer activist groups in Singapore—we lack a space in which a diversity of queer activists can meet, mingle, inspire, and conspire.
Angry Activist Happy Hour is a monthly gathering of queer activists, and folks interested in queer activism. It is casual, and low stakes. We think there is value in socializing, we believe there is much to be gained from us just sharing space and conversation.

How to run on fumes
Queer Activist Check In: You not tired ah?
The past few years have seen large strides in queer activism, particularly in terms of visibility and political traction. How have these translated into real terms for real queer people? What does progress from here on out look like?
Will we attempt to do the same, but more, and bigger? Is that sustainable?
This year at the IndigNation Conference 2025, we want to celebrate queer liberation through small acts.
In seeing the small as significant, what forms can “smallness” take? What is its impact on queer futures? Can smallness be more potent, is smallness more agile in responding to events?
How do we resist the seduction of access to power? Do we dream of being told we are good gays(™)? What even is a liberation concerned with approval?
Perhaps queer liberation is nourished in the mundane: how we relate, how we love, how we connect in our everyday lives. Perhaps the conversation we need to have is not with the powerful. Perhaps the conversation we need is with us and within us.
Beyond repeal
After years of continuous backbreaking effort by queer activists and organisations, 377A will finally be REPEALED! This could NOT have been accomplished without our queer elders who have worked to challenge the law, increase our visibility and gather public support DESPITE the state's hostility and inaction. But as we move forward, the state has also taken steps, recent or not, to deny our families legal recognition.
So what's next after the repeal? Undoing the harm that was created by keeping an archaic law on the books for far too long. Unequal housing laws, discriminatory employment practices, media censorship and so much more needs to be undone. Beyond this repeal, how can we then imagine queer life and activism that is not centered around 377A? What forms of community care can we aspire to, without reckoning with 377A?
2019
At PinkDot 2019, you might remember seeing a few people picking their way through the pink-shirted crowds of Hong Lim Park wearing giant signs that asked
“What issues does Pink Dot not address for you?”
and asking people to write down their responses. Those people were us and we would like to thank all of you who took the time that day to pen down your thoughts and chat with us!
We had some incredible conversations and got some really insightful answers. Take a look at what people were saying in 2019.
