Recently the global banking giant Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) has put up two replicas of their pair of mascot lions in rainbow colors outside their headquarters in Hong Kong to celebrate the coming holidays in Winter.

The pair of lions are the creation of a local artist made for the bank in a move to express it's corporate citizenship in the 21st century, in a modern and diverse society, where people, regardless of their ethnicity, beliefs, sexual orientation or gender identity are to be treated with respect and fairness.

Apparently the colorful big cats have drawn the ire of some anti-LGBT groups who claimed that the display of the artwork, at the bank's own property, "offended the customers and shareholders."

Unitarian Universalists Hong Kong (UUHK) thought that it is great to have a bank which has its roots in Hong Kong to express their support of diversity, inclusion, compassion and be good to one another, which are the core values of this holiday season.

UUHK found the idea of the artwork being "offensive" absurd and supports HSBC's genuine initiative to express tolerance, inclusion and diversity.

Regardless of your faith, or the lack of it, we should commend HSBC's action and disapprove that of those anti-LGBT groups.

尋道會聲明:支持匯豐彩虹獅

最近,國際大型銀行香港上海匯豐銀行(匯豐)在香港總部以外放置了兩頭彩虹色彩的吉祥物獅子複製品,以慶祝即將到來的冬季節日。

這對獅子是一個本地藝術家的創作,為銀行在廿一世紀表達它的企業公民身份,確認在一個多元化的現代社會,人們無論種族、信仰、性傾向或性別認同,都應得到尊重和公平對待。

顯然,兩頭色彩繽紛的大貓惹怒了一些反同團體。它們批評銀行在自己的物業上所展示的藝術品「冒犯客戶和股東」。

尋道會欣賞一間植根香港的國際銀行表達支持多元、包容、同情和善良等核心價值。

尋道會認為批評藝術品是「冒犯」的講法荒謬,並支持匯豐對寬容、包容和多元的倡議。

不論信仰(或無信仰),我們都應該讚揚匯豐的行動,而譴責那些反同團體的行為。
