香港同志遊行2019的... 主題是:平權是公義,咪漏咗同志! 主題顏色是:執返身彩(彩虹)
主題:平權是公義,咪漏咗同志!
終審法院上,屹立著公義女神的雕像。她蒙著眼,手持天秤,寓意不論任何身份的人,在法律面前人人平等。平等人權就是公義,公義絕不會遺漏性小眾社群的任何一人。一直以來,政府拒絕主動改善對性小眾不平等的政策和法例,因此,近年很多性小眾為了爭取應得的平等人權,選擇背負起法律程序上的壓力,以司法覆核的方式尋求公義。當中有不少的案件,已經在終審法院的判決中獲得最終的勝利。我們相信,平等人權不是夢,公義終有一天會落實。政府也應主動完善現行不平等的政策,消除歧視,實踐平等。
今年的香港同志遊行,就是呼喚每一個堅持公義的人走上街頭,擁抱每一個被剝奪平等權利的性小眾,堅持爭取《性傾向歧視立法》。告訴香港社會,我們堅持著公義的價值,認同每一個人,不論性別、性傾向,都必須獲得平等的對待。
主題顏色:執返身彩(彩虹)
每一個人都應該獲得平等的權利,不論性別、性傾向,所有人的權利都應無所差異。但過去的日子,政府幾乎沒有主動改善現行不平等的政策,還性小眾社群合理的權益。也許,我們強行樂觀地去想,香港同志們已經是「執返身彩」,當看見汶萊在2019年竟然要訂立法律對同性戀者處以石刑,最少在香港同性戀並非刑事罪行。我們看見香港在平權方面的進步速度雖然慢,但最少沒有變得更惡劣。這麼多年來倡議平等權利,雖然未能改變現時的政府,卻最少感動到了大多數的市民,讓香港有近七成的人都認同要立法保障性小眾免受歧視。
我們依然相信,世界是會變得更好的,香港也可以變得更好,只要我們每個人都願意為公義、為平等人權站出來。不單為了香港,也為了世界上仍然面對嚴重歧視的國家。就讓我們執起彩虹,高調的掛在身上,為我們堅持公義而自豪,為我們平等的美好將來,再次走上街頭。

The Hong Kong Pride Parade 2019... Them: Equal Justice, Equal Rights.
Dress Code: Pride Rainbow
Theme: Equal Justice, Equal Rights.
The Lady Justice at the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal with a blindfold and a balance symbolizes justice applying to everyone regardless of their wealth, power, or any other status. Human rights is a kind of justice and sexual minorities should not be kept out of it. As the Hong Kong Government has barely taken any initiative to rectify any legal policies to protect them, a number of sexual minorities have undergone stress in challenging the Government's decision by using judicial reviews to fight for their equal rights. As a result, some of these cases have been declared successful by the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal. We believe that having equal rights is not just a dream and justice is not far away from us. We hope the Hong Kong Government could enhance any unfair policies, eliminate discrimination and to carry out equal rights for everyone.
This year's Hong Kong Pride Parade calls out to people who stands for justice and those who have been deprived of their equal rights to fight for the legislation on sexual orientation discrimination. We aim to tell everyone we stand for the values of justice and that everyone should be treated equally regardless of their gender and sexual orientation.
Dress Code: Pride Rainbow
Everyone should be able to have their equal rights regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. However, the Hong Kong Government has barely taken any initiative to rectify any unfair legal policies to protect the rights of sexual minorities. Positively thinking, we may be lucky that being a LGBT is not a criminal offence in Hong Kong compared to the stoning punishment established for LGBTs earlier this year in Brunei. For many years, we have stood up for equal rights. Although we cannot change the Government's decision at the moment, we can see that Hong Kong is making progress as nearly 70% of Hong Kong people agree on establishing legislation on sexual orientation discrimination.
We believe that Hong Kong and those places with severe discrimination circumstances will become better places as long as everyone is willing to stand for justice and equal rights. Let's put on rainbow colours in the parade, be proud of ourselves for standing up for justice and to bring equal rights to our future! |
