Grey and Pride
Grey and Pride is the first and only registered charitable organization in Hong Kong that serves and looks after the well-being of older (aged 60+) members of the tongzhi (LGBTQ+) community.
In 2009, Dr. Travis Kong, a professor in the Department of Sociology, began researching older gay men in Hong Kong. His book titled 《男男正傳︰香港年長男同志口述史》was published in 2014 but Oral Histories of Older Gay Men in Hong Kong: Unspoken but Unforgotten was published in 2019 based on the Chinese version. This book documents the difficulties and challenges faced by older gay men in Hong Kong. Their true stories are often a mix of sadness and joy, with their lives interwoven with laughter, dignity, tears, regret, and shame. The publication of this book also led to the establishment of Grey and Pride in 2014.
