The Economist held its third annual LGBT event across New York, London, and Hong Kong on May 24, and we've got the highlights.
News magazine The Economist held a 24-hour event exploring LGBT diversity and inclusion across New York, London and Hong Kong on May 24.
This year's event focused on evaluating how advocacy can translate discussions on LGBT equality into meaningful action to improve the legal rights and societal treatment of LGBT people worldwide.
Some of the topics discussed included:
•Where the intersection lies between corporate and moral responsibility and how a meaningful shift in company culture must begin in the boardroom
What it means to be an advocate and how the roles of individuals and businesses have evolved as external conditions continue to change
The implications for executive teams that fail to recognize the importance of their own actions in influencing change within their companies
How policymakers and business leaders can hold back a tide of regressive politics around the world
The role of social media as a vehicle for progress
The Economist Intelligence Unit's new research into the future of advocacy
Where and how to act and invest to ensure continued progress in the recognition of LGBT rights across the world
Speakers at the Hong Kong event included Hong Kong LGBT lawmaker, Raymond Chan, Japan's first transgender lawmaker, Tomoya Hosoda, Philippine's first transgender lawmaker, Geraldine Roman, and activist and co-chair of Beijing Queer Film Festival, Wei Xiaogang.

No face pic? No chat. Closeted / open relationship? Arrogant, stuck up, use skin whitening? Don't bother. LTR oriented here. What I do for a living is NOT your business. Give me a dark guy any day around 1.68 meters tall? 👍🏼👨❤️💋👨 hopefully he can swim & would like living on a boat sailing around the world?

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.
