簡介There is mounting discussion about introducing legislation in Hong Kong to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation in the private sector. The Hong Kong Equal Opportunities Commission launched a Discrimination Law Review in July 2014 and has commissioned a study on the feasibility of legislating against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status. To inform this conversation, this briefing paper presents public opinion data from a 2013 telephone survey. We report public attitudes towards gays and lesbians and towards proposed anti-discrimination legislation.

題目Here’s why you must vote “NO” on H97 – a cruel and dangerous bill
日期20160115
簡介Bill H97 is deceptively and dishonestly titled, “An Act relative to abusive practices to change sexual orientation and gender identity in minors.” In fact, it puts vulnerable kids in danger to support a radical ideology. Homosexual and transgender behavior in children is very often a result of early sexual trauma. Victimized youth can become further traumatized and even suicidal. Skilled mental health professionals can often help them heal their severe emotional wounds and work through these issues. For many, it is literally a life-saver.

題目Progress: LGBT bill to ban therapy for youth on sexual orientation issues is stalled in Mass. Legislature
日期20160129
簡介Bill H97 is a big part of the LGBT movement’s War on Children. It would make it illegal for licensed therapists to give critical treatment to youth on sexual-orientation or gender-identity issues. It’s particularly devastating for kids who have been sexually molested and need help dealing with the emotional fallout.

簡介The American Journal of Psychiatry says it got it wrong when it came to analyzing the numbers in a large study of transgender patients undergoing sex-reassignment surgery. Last fall, the journal published the results of the study and found the surgeries improved patients’ mental health. But this week, the journal retracted its findings, saying a second look at the subject found no improvement.

題目U.S. parents accept children’s transgender identity by age three
日期20161222
簡介Increasingly across the United States, doctors and parents of transgender children are embracing their identity as soon it starts becoming obvious, sometimes around age 3. Many say they are finding much greater chances of happiness and well-being when children are nurtured in their new gender identity at such a young age. With better education, today’s transgender children generally receive much more support than those surveyed adults did in their youth.
