    Grey and Pride is a Hong Kong NGO that serves the city’s elderly LGBT community by campaigning for local gay rights through various activities. Among its members are 81-year-old Ng Mui and 77-year-old Shmily, who have carved differing paths in their coming-out journey. After getting negative responses from past media interviews, Ng has grown circumspect in revealing his sexual orientation. But Shmily is intent on pursuing an open life being gay.

    I feel like it’s always helpful when elderly people, specifically someone who is 80 years old, come out and talk about these things. It helps dispel the idea that all of this is somehow new.

    Being a LGBT is people own personal decision but teaching and promoting LGBT to Kids in Schools are totally wrong.

      Why can’t they teach homosexuality in schools ? It’s extremely common and normal.

      I'm pretty sure you can't choose to be lgbt, you're born with it. And what's wrong with teaching that a kind of people exist. Other than sexuality, they're perfectly normal people.

    REPENT!! This is not your true identity. You were created in God's image. He has destined you for far more greater. You are Kings and Queens, according to God's love and mercy towards us. Don't let this world deceive you into believing in a false image of yourself.
