I'll speak at 2pm. I don't understand how straight marriage is threatened by #gaymarriage. If anything, more people getting married will strengthen the institution. Moreover, these are the same people who are opposed to public discussion & consultation on #equality. #LoveWinshttps://twitter.com/damon_pang/status/1235074293886672897 …

  Straight marriage must be in dire straits if it’s threatened by a gay couple being given public housing. And she’s wrong. It is a matter for the courts to decide on the constitutionality of the government itself discriminating and denying equal rights to a groups of its citizens.

  If they want a public discussion, so be it. I just hope it won't be another "consultation committee" which perfectly illustrates our govt's inability to listen to the public opinion. Looking forward to the day when same-sex marriage becomes legalized in Hong Kong.

  Well said. Marriage nowadays represents genuine love & commitment between 2 partners & LGBT marriage in no way diminishes that.
