HK Anti-LGBT group label's HSBC 'arrogant' over pride lions

A leading anti-gay activist has criticised HSBC over its refusal to meet to discuss its pair of multicoloured lions symbolising support for LGBT rights outside its Hong Kong headquarters.

Roger Wong Wai-ming and his group The Family School Sexual Orientation Discrimination Ordinance Concern Group organised a petition and held a demonstration against the lions which have been on display since Nov. 30.

He told South China Morning Post that HSBC's refusal to meet to discuss the lions, was "hijacking the freedom of conscience of its shareholders." Their response was "arrogant" and "unacceptable," he said.

In a company letter to Wong, HSBC said it "respects everyone's right to express their views on the Pride and Unity lions as well as our diversity and inclusion policies."

"We are committed to serving the needs of all our customers, and the wider community, in Hong Kong and wherever we operate," it added.

So, it's highly likely that hsbc only performed this stunt for pr purposes and doesn't actually hold a view point.

we want to boycott all anti-gay products

all anti-gay products are harmful for consuming

Soooooooooooooo, the two comments preceding are landblasting HSBC because the bank tells the anti-LGBT group " The Family School Sexual Orientation Discrimination Ordinance Concern Group" basically "We don't care". What if, they(HSBC) were being progressive?? They could have had the Lions not only removed but say smashed in front of the bank. However, the HSBC took the highroad. This was a win from the PR prospective for the LGBTQ community. If anyone, got putdown it was this Wong guy and his group.
