During their date at Sentosa, they can feel eyes judging them as they were holding hands while walking. They heard people criticizing and making insinuating remarks at how they were holding hands.

To express their feelings, they decided to share what had happened on their Instagram story but can only be seen to those in their close friends list. Moments after, a friend named Keith, forwarded them a post by an Instagram account, "Over_the_Rainbow".  ]]> 2021-07-12 02:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/MuhamadNurilham/8lpgh8hkvgberq5f/wish/1645199162 MuhamadNurilham https://padlet.com/MuhamadNurilham/8lpgh8hkvgberq5f/wish/1645216098 Being the curious Olly that they are, they clicked on it. Olly was surprised to find out that such an event in SG existed apart from Pinkdot. They were over the rainbow (hahaa get it). After reading up more and discussing with Keith, they decided to meetup the next day and visit the carnival which was portrayed in the post. ]]> 2021-07-12 03:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/MuhamadNurilham/8lpgh8hkvgberq5f/wish/1645216098 MuhamadNurilham https://padlet.com/MuhamadNurilham/8lpgh8hkvgberq5f/wish/1645223179 The next day, Keith and Olly decided to visit the carnival.

This made them felt comforted and safe because they now know that they can be themselves around their rugby mates. ]]> 2021-07-12 03:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/MuhamadNurilham/8lpgh8hkvgberq5f/wish/1645239363 MuhamadNurilham https://padlet.com/MuhamadNurilham/8lpgh8hkvgberq5f/wish/1645240840 After the event, Olly felt even more included and was impressed by how many allies there are in SG. Olly also felt more confident about themself after knowing about the event and has the courage to show who they really are out in the public. Olly does not fear the public's discriminant eyes or comments and is not afraid to act upon their own judgement and personality.]]> 2021-07-12 03:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/MuhamadNurilham/8lpgh8hkvgberq5f/wish/1645240840 https://padlet.com/MuhamadNurilham/8lpgh8hkvgberq5f/wish/1653711189 Now, they are more aware of such events and will be sure to bring along their friends the next time.
