xiāng gǎng香港LGBTQ+tuán tǐ团体zài在huó dòng活动zhōng中tí gāo提高gōng zhòng公众rèn shí认识
On May 17th, there were rainbow flags in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, as people celebrated the International Day Against Homophobia.
Several LGBTQ+ groups participated in this event; they handed out flyers on the street and talked with passersby.
Some booths invited people to write down how they take care of themselves when facing discrimination, such as 'listening to music, cooking, meeting friends.'
Others wrote down 'Transgender rights are human rights.'
These activities help more people understand and support the LGBTQ+ community.
Nowadays, holding such events in Hong Kong has become difficult, but the groups still work hard to make themselves seen.
Although Hong Kong does not yet have laws protecting LGBTQ+ people or recognize same-sex marriage, surveys show many Hong Kong residents support same-sex marriage.
Participants said they hope everyone respects each other and does not discriminate against others.
