This Wednesday, 7 August, within the luxurious St. Regis, Hong Kong Marriage Equality – a campaign led by businesswoman, philanthropist and activist Gigi Chao – announced its new community outreach programs and activities for Hong Kong.


Leading the cause for legalising same-sex marriage in the city, the organisation was founded earlier this year in May and consists of LGBTQI+ activists and allies. As a community-focused initiative, HKME strives to be a non-partisan social movement that focusses on equality.


Among those present were celebrity guests such as former chairman of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Vinci Wong, William Tang and singer Joyce Cheng who delighted the crowd with her beautiful singing of the song Black Rainbow which was written in support of the LGBTQI+ community.
