【 明 報 專 訊 】

本港同性戀組織 Horizons(啟同服務社)前晚舉行香港歷史上第一次 同志大遊行,共有約100個參加者身穿艷麗裝束,環繞蘭桂坊「起舞」遊行。發起人之一的何禮傑表示,希望藉著活動向未能公開同志身分的姐妹弟兄作出勉勵,表明同性戀者也有尊嚴。

何禮傑表示,早於1992年香港宣布同性戀合法化時,有同志組織曾嘗試舉行遊行,但反應並不踴躍,顯示當時社會對同性戀者歧視甚深。但隨著香港社會逐漸開放,多了同性戀者願意走出來「示人」。他希望明年繼續舉辦同志遊行。

同志聯席發言人邵國華表示,現時香港市民對同性戀者的看法,較10年前大有進步,市民都會以包容的態度看待同性戀者。他表示﹕「今次的遊行是同性戀者對自己身分認同的一個里程碑,同性戀者對自己的身分是驕傲的。」他認為同性戀者不應隱瞞自己的身分。

不過,他指前日的活動由一間酒吧贊助,目的只不過是要為其酒吧推廣啤酒,商業味道過於濃厚,加上安排過於倉卒,未有足夠時間知會同性戀者參與,故參與人數不多。但他表示支持同志組織每年舉行一次遊行,「這可以帶出我們對自己身分感到驕傲、我們都有自己訴求等重要信息。」
