About Eunice

æ: When did you realise you were lesbian? What was the process like?

eunice: It is difficult to tell. It came so naturally. Same time as when did the straight people realized that they are straight.

æ: Are you out to family and friends? If yes, could you tell us something about it? Is it an important factor in your life?

eunice: I came out to most of my friends and co-workers for a long time. My family knows about my sexual orientation too. I told my co-workers about my sexual orientation because most of them have misunderstanding on queers and I think that I have the responsibility to educate them. I did not come out to my mom by myself.

My mom is the one who told me that she does not think homosexuality is a mental sickness. She also told me that it is O.K. for me to seek a man or a woman for myself as partner. She only cares about whether this person is nice, hard working and financial secure or not.

æ: Do you believe in monogamous or open relationships? Are you in one?

eunice: I believe in both but I do not prefer an open relationship.

æ: What kind of underwear person are you?

eunice: Plain color, pure cotton, not sexy or seductive.

æ: What's your favourite CD?

eunice: "I have a date with spring" - the songs of a Cantonese drama in Hong Kong.

æ: What kind of pet do you have? Why?

eunice: Cats, turtle, fish and dog. I picked up all my cats on the streets. I picked up my dog at the gas station. The fish shop gave me the turtles for they are disabled. My father bought me fishes when I was 8 years old.

æ: Do you work with/support any gay or lesbian community groups? How?

eunice: I am working as a core member/voluntary worker for the "Queer Sisters" of Hong Kong. I met the QS voluntary workers during their events. Then they invited me to be their Hotlines voluntary worker. After three years, I became one of their core members.

æ: Have you ever participated in any pro-gay or lesbian events/parties/workshops? If so, which?

eunice: Yes, I attended the Queer Sisters party and became their voluntary worker. Now, I host the parties and workshops for them.

æ: What do you think we need most in Asia's gay and lesbian community?

eunice: We need more funding to provide more education for the public and for our brothers and sisters.

æ: In the context of being an Asian gay or lesbian, do you have any personal role models/inspirations?

eunice: Do culture exchanges with other overseas G&L organizations. To show them the difference between western and eastern queer cultures.

æ: What advice would you give to someone who is trying to come to terms with his or her sexuality?

eunice: It is not a much to come out to family, friends and public. We never see a straight person come out to the public. Be a nice person, be a responsible citizen, and be a good family member and work hard in our career. These are the only ways to make people respect you.
