主题: [APNSW] Petition: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination

Dear friends, 
Please support our petition in Hong Kong to urge the government to commence the legislation process for the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination Ordinance. Please see attached the petition letter in Chinese and English.

No Legislation is Discrimination
A petition initiated by educators to urge the Hong Kong government to commence the legislation process for the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination Ordinance
 
We are a group of teachers and scholars in Hong Kong. We believe that, similar to the anti-discrimination legislations based on gender, race, disability and family status, the anti-discrimination legislations based on sexual orientation and gender identity are of great importance in a progressive society; our pursuit for social justice and human rights protection for all people should not be overridden by one's religion, moral judgement, or individual preferences. 

*Please refer to the petition letter in the attachment with list of initiators.

 
We now call for everyone in the education sector in Hong Kong and the overseas, students, academic and non-academic staff (including those who have retired), to join our petition. Please leave your name in the following format, Rainbow Rider (Professor, University of Equality, Hong Kong).
 
How to join:
 
*We are planning to publish the petition in the local newspaper. We will keep you updated of the decision.
