Hong Kong's transgender men and women will soon have the right to marry, thanks to the Court of Final Appeal's ruling in the Ms W case, but barriers still exist. This article was originally published in China Daily on 9th April.
Nigel Collett, Fridae's Hong Kong correspondent, comments on the government's ruling on the marriage of Ms W, a male to female transgender person and the recently published Marriage (Amendment) Bill 2014. This article originally appeared in China Daily on March 10 2014.
On March 2nd at an event on the waterfront of Victoria Harbour Hong Kong, well known Hong Kong LGBT community members announced the formation of Double Happiness, the first organisation in support of marriage equality in Hong Kong.
After an open letter in which Gigi Chao expressed her love for her father but was adamant that she is happy with her partner, Sean Eav, Cecil Chao revokes dowry offer but fails to accept Eav as part of the family.

Looking for a boyfriend, possibly a life partner. Applications welcome. I'm someone who believes in clearly expressing your charm. I know what I want. I enjoy mornings that start with espresso and conversations with substance. I'm looking for an ambitious and kind man, confident but not arrogant, witty but not one who turns every date into an open mic night. But at least Wi-Fi, mature in all aspects of relationships, and able to cook a real meal. I'm not looking for perfection—just honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to eat. In return, I offer loyalty, a humor, and genuine listening skills—plus someone who actually reads your messages, not just the first line. Serious applicants only. Passion is required. Tax returns are not mandatory.
