In its editorial today, Headline Daily commented that Mr. Chan deserved to be treated this way. This is utterly disappointing, as Headline Daily did not only fail to speak up for and/or defend the victim, they helped spread such hate speech.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb% V( b- i4 M$ e) ?) t4 w0 d

That way, they sought to attribute other Legislative Council members' conduct to Mr. Chan. If in fact Mr. Chan has never used foul language at Legco meetings but yet be labelled by Headline Daily as a “foul language Legco member”, this could well constitute defamation.5.39.217.76: l6 D, j6 K" Y!

Citizens can of course have reservations about the political stance or ability of a Legco member. They can be dissatisfied too but to criticise and attack a Legco member based on his features such as gender, race or sexual orientation is plainly unacceptable.5.39.217.76& e# t; @3 R- K7 A5 R
' c6 X9 d, ~6 `/ c% G公仔箱論壇A person, regardless of gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, etc., should be treated equally and fairly. If the incident happened to a disabled person or a member of an ethnic minority, section 46 of the Disability Discrimination Ordinance or section 45 of the Race Discrimination Ordinance concerning vilification may already have been breached. Regrettably, there is currently no legislation in Hong Kong in relation to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

There was one citizen who was courageous enough to defend Mr. Chan in the subway. Her sense of justice poses a stark contrast to Headline Daily’s commentary. By referring to irrelevant events and people in its commentary, it does not only show that Headline Daily has no empathy and respect towards sexual minorities, but also that they are willing to turn a deaf ear to real issues and twist facts to suit theories. We are extremely disappointed by fallacies in this piece of so-called "editorial". + H$ p1 x0 s. c) J- C # m! ?: i8 j7 j- K8 X6 N; d5.39.217.76Progressive Lawyers Group 3 June 2015 8 E2 O7 d; H- O* [' l# t公仔箱論壇公仔箱論壇7 v# h0 w8 ~/ C.
