The theme of this year’s International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO) is “Religions, homophobia, transphobia.”  We in Hong Kong are remembering the people of different sexual orientations and sexual identities who are suffering from unnecessary misunderstandings, discriminations, and even physical violence, under the homophobic cultural and religious atmospheres in various corners of the world.  In this inter-faith seminar, representatives from various religious groups in Hong Kong come together to urge putting aside differences among religions on the basis of tolerance and compassion common all religions to create hope and space for reconciliation between religion and sexual minorities.
