- according to hollybook Marriage between and woman was not recognized as correct value, even it was not accepted by God as moral value, why?
- because God want men to be closer to God than to be closer to clitoris-vagina.
- Marriage man and woman is curse from God and Hatred of God to Men that prefer to make vaginal intimacy than intimacy with God.
- God made extradition to Man and women marriage and refuse marriage between man and woman as moral value .
- Marriage between man and woman is special curse tradition
- God regard man and woman marriage case as violent

- When women will get menopause, I think that is good time for men to leave clitoris-vaginal play then choose to purify by closer to God.

What's left to say after the above comment?

Appointing Hanscom Smith as the new Consul General of Hong Kong and Macau sends a great, strong message to the leaders of Hong Kong, and affirms the rights of its LGBT citizens.

Yet another botwildfck rant that merely repeats in deliberately frightful English what he has written before. Give it a break botwildfck! You have made your views many times - ad nauseam!

Aikane - "this sends a great, strong message to the leaders of Hong Kong . . ." Where on this good earth do you find that inference?

i suppose you think the appointment of a senior diplomat helps the local gay community? Really? Well, did you read that he was previously Consul General in Shanghai? And what, pray tell, good did he do there for the advancement of civil rights for the Shanghainese LGBT community? Zilch!

His appointment will achieve nothing for the gay community in Hong Kong. 5 years ago Britain's gay Consul General in Shanghai married his partner in Shanghai? Did that advance any LGBT rights? Nope!
