Movers and shakers of Hong Kong's LGBTQ+ scene
Advertising

Hong Kong's society remains relatively conservative, but the city's diverse social scene has become more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. And though we still have a lot of room for improvement, the growing number of attendees during Hong Kong's annual Pride Parade in November, the recent legal victories for LGBTQ+ people in Hong Kong, and the volume of LGBTQ+-friendly venues around town make the city one of the most welcoming places in Asia for the rainbow flag.

To celebrate Global Pride, we've rounded up profiles and faces of LGBTQ+ Hong Kong that we've met and featured over the years. Read on and get inspired by the movers and shakers of Hong Kong's LGBTQ+ scene.
