The pride parade drew 12,000 people last year and this annual event has now for the first time been reduced to a static rally, with no march allowed as the organisers claim the force gave them late notice, rather than the usual month in advance.
The pride parade was forced to become just a static rally after police on Thursday rejected LGBT groups’ application for a march, amid Hong Kong’s intensifying civil unrest.
Yeo Wai-wai, director of the Hong Kong Pride Parade’s organising committee, accused police of informing them at the last minute, rather than the usual month in advance, leaving organisers with little time to liaise with guests, many of them distinguished diplomats. “The police have been clamping down on freedom,” said Yeo, also a member of the Civil Human Rights Front, which organised peaceful protests a few months ago to oppose the now-withdrawn extradition bill in June, drawing crowds estimated at more than a million.

The British should have given Kong Kong a referendum before abandoning them to China - we fought far harder for Gibraltar, but both were no less British!
I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes. I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night; I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late; I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like country’s peace, I like metropolis’ noise; I like the beautiful west lake in Hangzhou, I like the flat cornfield in Champaign. I like delicious food and comfortable shoes; I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh. I always wanted to be a great writer, like Victor Hugo who wrote "Les Miserable", or like Roman Roland who wrote "John Christopher". They have influenced millions of people through their books. I also wanted to be a great psychologist, like William James or Sigmund Freud, who could read people’s mind. Of course, I am nowhere close to these people, yet. I am just someone who does his thing his own way,But my dream is still alive.I believe that if your not busy living then you are busy not living. NB:Not interested in cam or hookups. I am real, you be real, too.
