| Abstract | In 2012, artists Anthony Wong Yiu-Ming and Denise Ho came out as gay and lesbian in a concert and a Pride Parade respectively. Legislator Raymond Chan Chi-Chuen became the first publicly out gay man in public service. Gigi Chao made international news headlines when her property and shipping tycoon father Cecil Chao offered 8 million US dollars for any man who would marry her lesbian daughter. Later in the same year, a motion for public consultation on the establishment of the Sexual Orientation Discrimination Ordinance (SODO) was voted down. Increased visibility of gay and lesbian public figures did not seemingly translate into political gains for sexual minorities. Yet the pro-democracy Umbrella Movement in 2013 has seen local communities split up into factions including celebrities. |
