Our Voices, Our Rainbow

Each of us has our little circles and comfort zones—be they loud or quiet, for introverts or extroverts, and including LGBTQ+ communities.

As we navigate between these different circles, there’s always a bit of excitement and perhaps a touch of discomfort, largely because we’re all different. What we hope for is a world where people from all these different circles embrace the values of freedom and equality. We want different people to connect despite our differences while also having the space to thrive in their ways. This is the kind of society we envision and the goal we continue to strive for.

You and I, and everyone in society, weave hundreds of versions of Hong Kong. Our lives are quite different; some are simpler, others more challenging. Yet by our very existence, we can intertwine and decide what version of Hong Kong can be like.

Some matters are difficult to discuss and even harder to address, but life still presents many stimulating and uncomfortable situations. We can choose to take on various challenges, such as dealing with friends who may not know us well, who may misunderstand us, or who might be curious to learn more. We can continue to ponder and process these experiences and live in different voices.

Inspired by visions of a diverse community, different circles yearn to connect. We hope that here and now, we can accommodate different versions of you and me, seeing and supporting each other, merging and interweaving to form Hong Kong’s beautiful rainbow!

On the path to freedom and equality, with you and me, rainbows will bloom wherever we go.
