HORIZONS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HORIZONS is Hong Kong's second oldest gay group after Hong Kong Ten Percent Club, and it became the first gay group in Hong Kong's history to gain recognition from the government as a listed charity on October 22, 2001.
The organisation runs the Chinese Special Administrative Region's oldest counseling hotline for people affected by sexual orientation issues, which began operation months before HORIZONS was formally registered as a non-governmental organisation under Hong Kong's Societies Ordinance in February, 1992. There three founding officers were Barrie Brandon, Samson Chan and Simon Chan.
HORIZONS' other missions include educating Hong Kong's public about sexual orientation issues and promoting equal opportunities for people of different sexual orientations.
HORIZONS was a driving force behind Hong Kong's first gay parade, October 15, 2004.
