Can "Rainbow of HK" ever stop doing stupid things? Stirring up chaos at the church for the sake of expressing their anger and shouting out their opinions at the most conservative ears will NEVER work! Last time they protested against the arrest of Fetish's owner in S&M outfits, soliciting even more apprehension from the general public. This time they did it again. They can never get their point made with such impulsive displays of their rage. The public will only feel disgusted and be even more reluctant to understand us. The incident at the church only pulled us further apart from the public. It's just like advertising. If you want to sell your product, you use beautiful packaging and attractive commercials to accentuate what's worth buying to consumers. If you want to 'sell' your beliefs, you present yourself in socially-acceptable manners, especially as educated people, not barbaric mad dogs, and you wrap your message in easily-digestible packagings. Then the consumers, that is, the general public, will be more willing to 'buy' your opinion. Be rational if you want others to be rational, too. If you want the public to understand, you need to educate. Tell them the truth about our lives. Persuade them with facts and evidence to acknowledge our legitimate existence. Show them that we are entitled to equal rights as same-sex partners. People always fear what they don't understand, so the more people know, the less they will think of us as 'abnormal' or 'perverts.' The more you show the public that we're just normal people among them, the more they will start to accept us. Tell them we're just their friendly next door neighbour Miss Chan, their hardworking colleague Maggie, people that they have always liked. Stop presenting yourselves as radical and different 'rebels.' Start educating and communicating as educated people from all walks of life, as people with a reasonable cause worth understanding, as people who just want to live like others because we are entitled to. And be smart, PLEASE!
