L 5 MEILLRS FILMS GAYS HONGKONGAIS
Hong Kong’s LGBTQ+ muny has seen some solid social progrs recent years: The ernment regnized same-sex partnerships spoal visa applitns, the hight urt led that same-sex upl n apply for spoal benefs and file jot tax returns, and a study nducted last year showed that the majory of Hongkongers support gay marriage. Of urse there’s still unrcurrents of homophobia, too, as seen the recent furor over a Cathay Pacific ad featurg a gay uple, the whdrawal of 10 LGBT children’s books om the cy’s librari, and the appotment of an anti-gay marriage polician to the cy’s equali watchdog.
This was a tricky list to pile, not least bee Hong Kong cema, gay, lbian, and queer characters are often amed stereotypil ways: as the butt of a joke, or as the protagonist’s “gay iend” whose character has a lghable lack of nuance.
