Proved to be...?

Anyway, don't give up. It does not matter what your exual orientation is, you have to have spirit, try your best to survive!!!

Also, many people will support your action of coming out, and do it when you feel appropriate. Keep your spirit high!!! Be optimistic! :-)

Being in love is not that easy in this cold world, and knowing you and your lover, it is exceptionally rare to see someone so much in love.

It is sad really. I know friend that got married with his lover, could not tell parents, because he hasn't come out to his family yet.

Coming out is a big deal. But it is better to do that than to bring this secret to the grave.

Perspex，我是昨天看到這篇文的，你嚇死我了﹗擔心左成日呀足足﹗

Just to let you know, comparing lesbians to "criminal" could be taken as a form of insult. I would assume first that you didn't mean that.

But comparing to good children just don't meet their parents expectation would be more appropriate.

frostig, you said you were "just putting bad people, criminals, etc. together, at 'parallel' positions" ... but parallel to what ??? ... the whole context of your P.S. is that you are drawing parallel to people coming out ... xox is already being polite to you using "comparing" not "equating" in her gentle reminder to you ...

i trust that you meant good when you wrote that P.S. ... but unfortunately i'd still describe it as writing of some unfortunate insensitivity ...

Gosh!
Don't tell me XOX is a female!

I would want to kill myself if so......

PLEASE, don't give me such a BIG 'SURPRISE'!!!

A million thanks!!!!!!

(1) I actually meant what I explained. I had nothing to hide, and it was not slip of tongue. Perspex was worried that her mother would not be happy with her if she came out, and it was HER worry. What I wanted to comfort her with was that 'even the bad people are loved by their parents, and coming out is NOTHING COMPARABLE, so you don't need to be worried hwne the suitable timing comes'. If this is not clear enough, or you believe it is still not justified, tell me. There is NO REASON to use something 'good / positive' in this struture of saying......

(2) Re: 不正常. I still think that 正常 means 'majority' (as in Social Sciences), so 正常people in HK are not healthy, and they are spending too much time at work; also 正常 HK people are not nice and approachable. 不正常 people could be healthier, nicer and possibly simply better! Just like, Superman is abnormal (不正常), Li Kar-shing is definitely 不正常, etc.

I would just say, I took back that just because of the others' understandings, but not because I started to think that '正常' & '不正常' meant something else, but not the NUMBER (or proportion)......

For instance, I am quite sure we hard-core readers/members of In-Media are not 'normal people' (in terms of HK people). I am quite sure that we are abnormal, in my definition (which is not invented by myself). ;-)

//xox, cliff，經此一役，如果有所得益，就係再次展示促成性傾向歧視條例的迫切性。//

Anti-discrimination legislation based on sexual orientation in important, of course. But more importantly, is trying to deal with prejudice and discriminatory belief in society.

As there is high cost in litigation, the court is not accessible to the majority. And the EOC is not as good as it should be. So, while we try to push forward a legislation to protect people from discrimiation in areas that is regulatible, it is also important to educate the public on non-discrimination.

Speaking out is just part of it. And I'm learning to do it more gently.
