The equality watchdog dismissed calls for Hong Kong to follow Taiwan’s lead in legalising same-sex marriage
The equality watchdog dismissed calls for Hong Kong to follow Taiwan’s lead in legalising same-sex marriage - on the day (Friday 17 May) that had seen Taiwan become the first in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage.
At an evening of solidarity to mark International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) in Hong Kong, activists called for similar rights in Hong Kong. However, Ricky Chu, head of the government equality watchdog the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), responded that ‘each society has its unique social circumstances’ and ‘we cannot directly compare Taiwan’s new law with Hong Kong’s situation’. He also urged LGBT rights campaigners to take things step-by-step to break an ‘eternal stalemate’.

I'm a relationship oriented guy. Versatile, HIV-, no drugs, no drama. Love to laugh. Live right on a lake and enjoy the water. Love to explore, and the DC area has lots of interesting things to see and do. Looking for a decent looking guy, 24 - 39, whose mind is working, has a decent sense of humor and some adventure in him. Someone who says what he means and means what he says.
