香港同性伴侶渴望結婚,但關係未獲法律承認引發憂慮

在香港,社會時有討論應否承認同性關係,相關的法律也有明顯的發展。孫耀東教授(香港中文大學性別研究課程副教授)發佈三份研究簡報,為這些討論提供實證依據。

孫耀東教授表示:「我們的研究結果顯示,香港LGBQ+人士與非LGBQ+人士一樣,會選擇與伴侶建立穩定關係。70%處於穩定同性關係的香港LGBQ+受訪者表示想或非常想與其同性伴侶結婚,顯示婚姻在香港LGBQ+人士心目中仍然是一個重要制度。絕大多數的LGBQ+ 受訪者,以及處於同性關係的LGBQ+受訪者,都認為同性婚姻是重要或非常重要。 然而,香港不承認同性關係的法律現實,意味著香港的LGBQ+人士持續活在壓力和恐 懼之中,擔心在香港的公共領域中無法得到公平對待。超過一半(54%)的受訪者擔心與同性伴侶的關係會負面影響其獲得或保住工作的機會。94%的受訪者擔心如果他們其中一人出了事,醫院不會承認他們或其同性伴侶。相當高比例的LGBQ+同性伴侶受訪者表示在公共領域中經歷過歧視,包括醫院探訪和在餐廳或商店中受到較差服務。有LGBQ+孩子的受訪家長都對孩子因其性傾向而面對的困難有著共同的憂慮。近三分之二的受訪家長(70%)擔心孩子晚年沒有人照顧。超過一半的受訪家長(54%)擔心孩子無法結婚。大多數受訪家長 (62%)支持香港應在法律上承認同性婚姻。這些研究結果顯示,香港迫切需要檢討和更新其法律框架以承認同性關係——這是LGBQ+人士及其父母和家庭成員的共同想法。」

Hong Kong’s LGBT community struggles for acceptance in sports and fitness industries, Chinese University survey shows

Professor Suen Yiu-tung, Associate Professor of Gender Studies Programme, CUHK, was interviewed by South China Morning Post about the right to sports participation for #LGBTQ people on 18 November.

Less than a year before Hong Kong co-hosts the Gay Games, new research findings by my team released today reveal that among the 884 lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer plus (LGBQ+) respondents in Hong Kong:

  • 30% of them had experienced assault during PE classes.
  • 47.4% of them said that homophobia in the sports sector are common or very common.
  • One-fourth of them said they had experienced bullying because of being perceived as a sexual minority in sports or fitness settings.
  • Among the respondents who said they had participated in a sports team before (42.6% of the respondents, n = 377), 57% of them had not come out to anyone at all.

There has been much debate in Hong Kong about the city hosting the Gay Games in 2023, the first time the event will be held in Asia. Over the past two decades, academic studies, and studies by sports agencies and government health departments, around the world have documented that homophobia, biphobia and transphobia remain rampant in sports settings for LGBTQ+ adolescents in school, as well as for LGBTQ+ adults in both leisure and competitive settings.

This study is the first to provide empirical evidence that a substantial proportion of LGBQ+ people in Hong Kong often feel unsafe or are actively excluded in sports settings.

Homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in sports settings have harmful consequences. They adversely affect LGBTQ+ people’s participation and performance in sports. They make it difficult for LGBTQ+ athletes to come out to their coach and team members. They do not only hinder authentic relationships from being built, but also drastically affect LGBTQ+ people’s performance as they have to divert their attention from performing at their absolute best to hiding who they are and questioning themselves. Homophobia, biphobia and transphobia make some LGBTQ+ people give up sports altogether.

Everyone should have the right to sports participation, health and well-being, including LGBTQ+ people.

中學生抵抗校園性別定型,平機會、法庭成為捍衛選擇權的新戰場

Prof.WONG Wang Ivy, director of Gender Studies Programme, CUHK, was interviewed by Initium Media about the gender stereotyping on Hong Kong school campuses. She indicated that no matter the reason, setting rules on one’s appearance based on their gender is already a type of gender stereotype. She also expressed that the differences in gender stereotypes between cultures have been ignored, and more discussion should be made as gender rules have been changing over the years.
