國際不再恐同日 團體銅鑼灣辦性別多元活動
Today (May 17) is the International Day Against Homophobia. Last year, Hong Kong LGBTQ organisation “Gay Harmony” held a Pride Month market at iSQUARE, but the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department said it had not obtained a temporary public place licence or a place of public entertainment licence, and the event was ultimately cancelled. A year later, “Gay Harmony” today joined forces with several gender diversity organisations to set up stalls and exhibitions around East Point Road and George Street in Causeway Bay, hoping to raise public awareness of gender diversity issues. Francis, the founder of “Gay Harmony”, said the group had applied to and received approval from the Lands Department for this event. He said last year’s cancellation was “also because we ourselves were not sensitive enough”. The group will hold an event at The Mills in Tsuen Wan in June and is applying to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department for a licence.
今日（5月17日）是國際不再恐同日，去年香港同志組織「大同」（Gay Harmony）iSQUARE舉辦同志驕傲月市集，惟食環署指未獲臨時公眾場所牌或娛樂場所牌照，最終活動取消告吹。事隔一年，「大同」今日聯同多個性別多元組織，在銅鑼灣東角道及紀利佐治街一帶設攤位及展覽，冀大眾關注性別多元議題。「大同」創辦人Francis表示，今次活動向地政總署申請並獲批，去年活動遭取消「都係衰自己唔夠敏感」，他們6月會到荃灣南豐紗廠舉辦活動，正向食環署申請牌照。

夬兒藝術展｜缺臂藝術家與友人辦殘疾、精神障礙人士藝術展 「大家可以去『示弱』」
Wearing a dark green checked patient uniform, artist Xu Zhengyi (Jade) used fluorescent green paint at the exhibition venue to draw a relationship map for words scattered across the floor, without saying a word.
“Discrimination” pointed to “queer”, “animality”, “disability” and “poverty”.
“Human” equalled “animal”, which equalled “beast”.
These were insights reached by 27-year-old Jade through living and interacting with disabled and able-bodied people.
The exhibition in which Jade took part, titled “Between”, was an extension of the month-long “Crip Art Residency 2.0” (Crip Art Residency).
Five artists—including people with mental illnesses, people in recovery, people with hearing impairments and two able-bodied people—lived together for a month in Sai Kung during November and December last year, before exhibiting the artworks created during the residency at an art space in Jordan.
身穿墨綠色格仔病人服藝術家許正宜（Jade），用瑩光綠色的顏料在展覽場上，一言不發地為散落地面的字詞畫下關係圖。
「歧視」指向「酷兒」、「獸性」、「殘疾」和「窮」。
「人類」等於「動物」等於「畜牲」。
這是 27 歲的 Jade 與殘疾人士和健全人士同住交流下得出的感悟。
Jade 參加的展覽，名為「間」，是為期一個月「夬兒藝術駐留計劃 2.0 」(Crip Art Residency) 的延伸。
五位藝術家，包括精神病患、復康者、聽障人士和兩名健全人士，於去年 11 月及 12 月期間，在西貢共同生活一個月，然後在佐敦的藝術空間展出駐留期間的藝術創作。

娛樂牌風波｜同志驕傲月市集轉工廈舉行 入場需登記 參加者：好似變返得自己人知
Local LGBT organisation Big Love Alliance had originally planned to hold a three-day Pride Month market from yesterday (29 June), spanning 1 July. However, the event was halted after the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department notified the organisers that they did not hold an entertainment establishment licence. The organisers changed plans and moved the event today (30 June) to an industrial building in San Po Kong, where entry requires prior registration. The smaller event includes thematic sharing sessions and performances.
After the event was moved from a shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui to an industrial building, Big Love Alliance founder Francis said he found the venue through a friend’s introduction. Taking into account the venue, the availability of guests for the thematic sharing sessions and the schedules of the performing groups, they ultimately decided to hold the event on the final day of Pride Month.
本地同志組織「大同」原訂昨（29日）起，舉辦一連三日、橫跨 7.1 的「同志驕傲月市集」，然而，活動因臨時被食環通知未持有娛樂場所牌照需煞停。主辦方變陣，今（30日）移師在新蒲崗一工業大廈，舉辦需預先登記才能進場的小型活動，涵蓋專題分享及表演等。
活動從尖沙咀商場轉陣至工廈，「大同」創辦人Francis 表示，經好友介紹後覓得場地，而考慮到場地、專題分享嘉賓、表演團體檔期，最終決定在「同志驕傲月」最後一日舉辦活動。

食環指無娛樂牌 煞停同志市集 活動首次橫跨7.1 主辦方：三度舉辦皆未需申牌
Coinciding with Pride Month, local LGBT organisation Daatung had planned to hold the Pride Month Bazaar at iSQUARE in Tsim Sha Tsui from the 29th to July 1. However, the organiser announced on social media on the 25th that the event had to be cancelled after the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department notified it that it did not hold a Temporary Public Entertainment Licence or a Public Entertainment Licence. Daatung founder Francis told The Collective that it had organised similar events since 2021 without applying for a licence, and said the relevant departments’ enforcement standards were unclear.
適逢「同志驕傲月」，本地同志組織「大同」原訂後日（29日）至 7月 1 日，於尖沙咀 iSQUARE 舉辦「同志驕傲月市集」（Pride Month Bazaar）。然而，主辦方前日（25日）在社交媒體宣布，因被食環通知未持有「臨時公眾娛樂場所牌照」或「公眾娛樂場所牌照」，活動需要取消。「大同」創辦人Francis 接受《集誌社》訪問時坦言，自 2021 年已舉辦同類活動，以往亦無申領牌照，認為有關部門執法標準模糊。

同志驕傲月｜婚策公司招募 10 對性小眾情侶 贊助辦婚禮 由美國監禮人視像證婚
June is Pride Month each year. A wedding planning company is collaborating with a Hong Kong hotel and organisations to sponsor weddings for 10 couples of different sexual orientations or transgender couples. Hong Kong and US marriage celebrants will be connected live for a mass marriage registration ceremony and weddings on June 25. The organisers said the event aims to raise public awareness of and support for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. The selected couples need only pay a symbolic fee of HK$2 to receive a legally valid overseas marriage registration service. The organisers said that if more than 10 couples apply, priority will be given to older couples and people with financial needs, in the hope that everyone, regardless of wealth or age, can enjoy the protection of marriage.
每年 6 月為同志驕傲月 Pride Month，有婚禮策劃公司與本港酒店及機構合作，贊助 10 對不同性傾向或跨性別情侶，在香港與美國婚姻監禮人實時連線，在 6 月 25 日進行集體婚姻登記及舉行婚禮。主辦方指，是次活動希望喚起社會大眾對 LGBTQ+ 社群權益的關注和支持，獲選中的情侶只需支付港幣 2 元的象徵式收費，便可獲得海外合法婚姻登記服務。主辦方表示，如超過 10 對情侶報名，將會優先考慮較年長的情侶、有經濟需要的人士，以實現不論貧富、不論年紀，均能受婚姻所保障。

Pink Dot與區選撞期 警方以「警力不足」要求提早完結
After a five-year gap, Hong Kong’s major LGBTQ carnival, “Pink Dot HK – A Point of Pink”, returned outdoors today. Event representative Siu Fai (Prof) Leung said police, citing insufficient manpower, requested two days before the event that it end early. They also asked the organisers to inspect participants’ bags and prohibit alcohol from being brought in, while no more than 3,500 people could be inside the venue: “On election day, [police manpower] is spread very thinly across the districts. They are worried there won’t be enough police manpower and that disorderly incidents could occur.”
相隔 5 年，香港大型同志嘉年華「Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅」今日重返户外舉行。大會代表梁兆輝透露，警方在活動舉行前兩日以警力不足為由，要求活動提早完結，又要求主辦方檢查參與者袋，不准帶酒精飲品入場，場內亦不可多於3,500人：「選舉日（警力）喺各區分到好散，佢哋驚唔夠警力，會有紛亂事件。」

趙佩玉請願批Pink Dot撞區選：昨日天父緊急call我去阻止
The large-scale LGBT carnival Pink Dot HK – One Pink will be held at the West Kowloon Cultural District on December 10, the same day as voting for the District Council election. Chiu Pui Yuk Joyce, which opposes equal rights, petitioned at the Government Headquarters today (December 6), saying: “Heavenly Father urgently called me yesterday and said I must go and stop this event.” It criticised the event for diverting voters, saying, “Everyone should be encouraged to go and vote, not all go there to promote these depraved things!” It urged the government to stop leasing the West Kowloon Cultural District for the event.
香港大型同志嘉年華「Pink Dot HK 一點粉紅」將在12月10日於西九文化區舉行，同日為區議會選舉投票日。立場為反平權的趙佩玉今日（12月6日）到政總請願，稱昨日「天父緊急call我一定要去阻止呢個活動」，批活動分散投票人流，「應該鼓勵個個都去投票，唔係一齊去佢嗰度推動啲敗壞嘅嘢！」促政府停止租借西九文化區。

同志遊行連續4年未能舉辦 阿正任彩虹大使：平權需有人發聲
Hong Kong’s LGBTQ+ parade, which has a history of more than 10 years, has not been held for four consecutive years. Organisers said that, as the current social situation remained unclear and it was difficult to guarantee participants’ physical and mental safety, it would be replaced by exhibition activities. This year’s Rainbow Ambassador is Commercial Radio 903 DJ Wong Ching-yi (Ah Jeng). She said she hoped Hong Kong would not need to hold LGBTQ+ parades in future, “because this should become something very ordinary”. She also said that good values and equal rights require people to speak out. Even if criticised, she would respond with an attitude of “what’s it got to do with you?”, saying: “You wouldn’t let other people questioning you shake what you believe in.”
有逾十年歷史的香港同志遊行連續4年未能舉辦。主辦方解釋，目前社會情況仍不太明朗，難以擔保參與者身心安全為由，故改以展覽活動取代。今年的彩虹大使是叱咤903 DJ 黃正宜（阿正），她說希望香港未來不需再舉辦同志遊行，「因為呢事應該會變成好日常」，又指好的價值觀和平權是需要有人發聲，即使有人批評她，亦會抱「關你咩事」心態應對：「唔會因為有人質疑你，去動搖自己信嘅嘢㗎嘛」。

同樂運動會遭批違國安 主辦方：非政治組織亦無政治目的
The Gay Games opened in Hong Kong today (the 3rd), making it the first Asian city to successfully bid to host the event. Legislative Council member Junius Ho questioned the event on the 1st, saying it was “in violation of national security” and calling on the government to ban it. Gay Games co-chair Lam Man-wai reiterated in a radio interview this morning that the event had always promoted “unity in diversity” and sought to eliminate discrimination, without advocating the values of same-sex marriage or same-sex equality. She stressed that its funding sources were transparent, saying, “We have never been a political organisation, nor do we have any political objective,” and that it only hoped to show the world Hong Kong’s vibrant side through the Games.
同樂運動會今日（3日）在港開鑼，是首個亞洲城市成功申辦，但遭立法會議員何君堯前日（1日）質疑活動「有違國安」，要求政府取締。同樂運動會聯合主席林敏蕙今早在電台訪問中，重申活動由始至於都是提倡「多元中的團結」，希望消磨歧視，沒有宣揚任何同性婚姻或同性平權的價值。她強調資金來源透明，「我哋由始至終都唔係一個政治組織，我哋亦冇任何政治目的」，只希望透過運動會讓世界見到香港有活力一面。
