The Gay Games will be held in Hong Kong in November next year. He Junyao, a member of the establishment legislative council, earlier criticized the games for being "disrespectful" and the economic gains they brought were "dirty money."
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor made no mention of criticism yesterday that some members were "emotional" in expressing their opinions, and emphasized that they cannot tolerate speech that divides society and even causes hatred.
The Chairman of the Equal Opportunities Commission, Zhu Minjian, said on a TV program this morning (16th) that he agrees with Lam Cheng's statement that He Junyao's remarks are emotional and will only divide society and will not bring positive help.
Zhu Minjian said that this incident reflects that sexual orientation discrimination is not regulated by legislation in Hong Kong. The EOC is currently studying how to regulate it. He personally prefers to legislate. He hopes to conduct extensive consultation in the coming year and prepare a report for the government's reference. .

Zhu Minjian said that the Tung Lok Games promotes the concept of equality and inclusiveness, which is the same as the concept of equal opportunities. The club has given support since the 2016 Tung Lok Games bid.
Regarding He Junyao’s recent statement that the government should not “fall into the water” and support the organization of the Fun Games. Zhu Minjian believes that He Junyao did not understand the facts, because according to his understanding, the government and EOC’s support does not involve any money, and the other party did not request funding or support. The concession only hopes that the sports meet can be held smoothly in Hong Kong. The LCSD also stated that it will arrange reservations in accordance with the current procedures. "(Support) will not say high-key or low-key."
As to whether Ho Junyao's remarks will involve discriminatory elements?
Zhu Minjian believes that it may involve a discriminatory nature, but pointed out that Hong Kong currently does not have legislation to regulate sexual orientation discrimination. Therefore, in the discussion of this topic in the past 20 years, they have only expressed their own opinions. The EOC is currently studying how to regulate it. He personally I am inclined to enact legislation. I hope that extensive consultation will be conducted in the next year, and then a report will be drawn up for the government's reference.
