Hong Kong gay radio show wins human rights award

We Are Family, the first ever LGBT radio programme on Hong Kong's public airwaves, won the Grand Prize in the Chinese radio category in the 14th Annual Human Rights Press Awards.

We Are Family's founder and current presenter, Brian Leung receiving the Grand Prize in the Chinese radio category in the 14th Annual Human Rights Press Awards

RTHK Radio 2’s We Are Family, the first ever LGBT radio programme on Hong Kong's public airwaves, was launched back in 2006 by its current presenter, Brian Leung Siu Fai. Since then, Brian and the guests he has interviewed every week, have carried the torch for the LGBT community.

This month, uniquely, Brian’s fight for equality in Hong Kong was publicly recognised when his programme was awarded the Grand Prize in the Chinese radio category in the 14th Annual Human Rights Press Awards, which is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Journalists Association, the Foreign Correspondents' Club and Amnesty International. Every year the panel presents awards for both Chinese and English radio, TV, print and electronic media. 

Leung describes his programme as a "light-hearted talk show" and had not expected to win something both so serious and prestigious as a prize for human rights. He was up against some strong competition; there were 200 nominations. Receiving the award, he said, made it clear that his show was still on the right track. He remained very grateful to RTHK for giving him a platform for queer rights and not interfering in the content of his show.

“The strive for equality is a never-ending quest. No one knows when and how we are going to get there, but as the legend goes... it's got to be over the rainbow somewhere! And together, we can make this lonesome and tiresome journey a wholesome and fabulous ride. After all, we are family,” Leung said.

Congrats Brian!!! Keep up the great work and continue to be aware of the fundamental x-tians lurking around the corner to launch their next offensive, given now your show is going mainstream. Peace!
