Grey and Pride
Grey and Pride has dedicated the past decade to enhancing the visibility, inclusion, and education of older LGBTQ+ members through a comprehensive and multifaceted approach. By engaging with media outlets such as newspapers, radio, and television, we have brought the lived experiences and needs of older tongzhi into mainstream focus, increasing our visibility and fostering greater awareness and understanding. Additionally, our self-produced videos amplify our voices and serve as educational tools to engage both the public and younger LGBTQ+ generations, creating spaces for cross-generational dialogue and understanding.
Aging Together : Supporting and Caring for Older Tongzhi (LGBTQ+) in Hong Kong
Through five scenarios, each presenting both "needs improvement" and "more appropriate" approaches, we aim to educate frontline workers on how to provide services that are diverse, inclusive, and affirming of tongzhi identities. Additionally, this project promotes the importance of HIV testing and the concept of "Undetectable = Untransmittable" (U=U). Following this, we interviewed several older tongzhi to learn about their life experiences, their views on healthcare and social services, and their perspectives and expectations regarding diversity, inclusion, and affirmation of their identities.
Resilience and Solidarity seeks not only to improve the quality of healthcare and social services for older tongzhi but also to ensure they receive the respect and support they deserve, allowing them to live with greater dignity in society.

Unheard Voices: Older Tongzhi in Hong Kong
Older tongzhi (LGBT+) constitute one of the forgotten groups of people in Hong Kong. Their needs and voices are often neglected, and hence go unnoticed, both within the LGBT+ community and by society at large. This video provides an introduction to the problems and challenges that older LGBT people are facing, particularly with respect to access to social and medical services, and suggests ways to fulfil their unmet social needs.
Grey and Pride: Postcard Project
This project aims to share the experiences of our community's vibrant elders through their own voices and images. We hope to amplify the voices and experiences of older tongzhi individuals within the tongzhi community in Hong Kong.
At the core of this project lies the intention to shed light on the multifaceted stories of older tongzhi individuals through their own words and images. Six poignant themes form the narrative tapestry of these postcards, each encapsulating unique aspects of their lived experiences:
"Suk Suk & Hehe": Generational Inclusion Project
This project aims to promote inclusion between different generations within the gay community, with older and younger gays sharing their personal experiences of life as gays in a predominantly heterosexual world. In addition, these short films will also allow younger gays who have had conversations with older gays to share their first-hand perspectives on the lives of these older gays. Therefore, by exploring the world of older gays and listening to their voices, we hope that viewers will be able to:
• Deconstruct prejudices and stereotypes against older gay people in the gay community. • Value older gay people, give them compassion, and enable them to live with dignity and without fear.
• Communicate effectively when interacting with older peers.
• Continue to create a fair, just, non-discriminatory and harassment environment for the LGBT community in Hong Kong.
