I was excited to know that we have a lgbt diversity and inclusion group in the office. Though in the last gathering mostly are normal married couple which is there to show support but at least it is a beginnin right? Then this evening we got an invitation to a interbank LGBT inclusion group, which after attending i was total High! =p
For a start, this is an event for all the investment banking employee, so u actually get ppl from those companies like Barclay Capital, Credit Suisse, Deutch Bank, UBS, Nomura (previously leighman bros and also the organizer)and our bank. Needless to mention it is some kind of great networking event. But the really highlight (for me) is they r really gay and lesbian going!!! u actually see ppl kissing on cheeks and also talking about marriage and rites for homo couples. At least 3 cute guys there among the 20plus attended. Such a wonderful evening... And when i step out of the building it was coincidently the end of YOG and we actually see fireworks so close up!! beautiful end to the event.. ^^
There are actually so many ppl willing to come out and show support and raise awareness and rights for our group. So touching... This is really something i will happily volunteer a lot.. (so i can meet the 3 cute guys again =p)

ReplyDeletesky, it is quite exciting indeed, for us especially.. ^^
pikey, actually the acceptance is still fairly low, that was one of the things we talked about, like the whole event there are just 2 chinese gays there, all else caucasians, but atleast its a start..
