“There are plenty of good men, they are not just for me,” these are
the words of the daughter of Cecil Chao, an H0ng Kong business tycoon
who reportedly offered 80million pounds to any man who is ready to marry
his lesbian daughter.
Gigi, the 33-year-old daughter wrote an
open letter to her father urging him to see reasons and respect her
sexuality. Chao, a property and shipping tycoon who himself has never
married, told the BBC last year that his daughter needed a “good
husband”.
In the letter, Gigi told her father to “treat her like a normal, dignified human being”.
Chao last week reportedly offered to double his 2012 offer of $65m (£40m).
Hong Kong does not recognise same-sex unions, although homosexuality was decriminalised in 1991.
