Dear all,
(中文版本請往下看)
In order to gauge public support of an anti-discrimination bill to outlaw sexual orientation discrimination, the Hong Kong government will commission a third party to conduct a survey on public atitudes towards gays and lesbians and protective measures for them. There will be no Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SOD) Bill if the results show less than 50% support from the public. As a member of the LGBT communtiy, we all have witnessed instances of discrimination, if not experienced them ourselves. It is important that we voice out the need to outlaw discrimination against us. It is important that the public knows about our needs and the prevalence of discrimination before the survey takes place. If you are not a member of the
LGBT community, I trust you too agree to equality for all and a legislation to protect us from discrimination. Thus, I urge you to sign this petition in support of an SOD Bill which will outlaw discrimination against us. It will also convey a strong message to the public and the government of how serious discrimination is in Hong Kong.
To sign the petition, follow this link (your signature will be handed to the Chief Executive and Secretary for Home Affairs):

為掌握公眾對反歧視草案的支持度,香港政府將委任獨立人士調查公眾對同性戀者以及有關保障措施的態度。如果民意調查結果反映有關支持度低於百分之五十,相信政府對提出草擬性傾向歧視法案有一定困難。作為同志社群的一份子,即使我們可能未曾經歷,但我們也曾目睹歧視發生。我們必須發聲讓針對我們的歧視行為受法律制裁。在民意調查進行前,我們也必須讓公眾知道我們的需要,及歧視的普遍性。故此,我促請您參與聯署支持性傾向歧視法案,令針對我們的歧視受法律規管;即使您不是同志,我相信支持平等原則的您同樣會支持法案。您的聯署也會向公眾及政府傳遞訊息,表達香港的歧視情況不容忽視。
請在以下網址簽署支持法案,簽名將遞交行政長官及民政事務局局長:
