面對5月17日「不再恐同日」，台灣在華山藝文特區舉辦「See Through正視－2017國際不再恐同日」特展，而香港彩虹、跨性別權益等多個團體，在5月14日於銅鑼灣舉行「國際不再恐同日」香港區活動，挺同團體PrideLab.HK的創意總監陳驚(Kenn)透露，自己於初中時發現喜歡女性，起初不知如何與父母談及此事，而其父親有主動問及其性取向，並對此表示支持和接納，感到自己較其他人幸運。
In the day of the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOT) on May 17th, a special exhibition titled See Through will be held in Taiwan’s Huashan Creative Parks. In Hong Kong, many LGBT organizations also held a IDAHOT related event in the Causeway Bay area. Kenn, the Creative Director of PrideLab.HK, a pro-LGBT group, revealed that she discovered her attraction to females in middle school. She was unsure how to open up to her parents. Her father ended up asking about her sexual orientation and was supportive and accepting in the end. She said she was fortunate, compared to many others.
出席此次活動的立法會社會福利界議員邵家臻指出，性傾向歧視立法固然必要，但仍有很多教育工作有待處理。邵議員透露，立法會政制事務委員會將有議程，就平等機會委員會的工作作全面評估，他認為身為平等機會委員會主席，應要有包容和接納態度，而現任平機會主席陳章明有時候「講錯了」，甚至「反應有小小奇怪和莫名其妙」。陳主席於今年3月8日婦女節公然不當發言，歧視女性言論，已經令人夠傻眼，對於同志如此更加敏感議題的表態，也不令人驚訝了。
Shiu Ka-chun, a member of the legislative Social Welfare constituency, took part in the event. He pointed out that necessary as it is to legislate against discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation, education is still needed. Shiu revealed that Panel on Constitutional Affairs from the Legislative Council will carry out a thorough evaluation. He thinks that the current chairperson of Equal Opportunities Commission, Chan Cheung-ming, should be accepting and inclusive, but instead, he has had some inappropriate comments, such as the one he made on Women’s Day this year. His discriminatory remarks targeted at women made his attitude towards the even more sensitive LGBT issues even more predictable.
