€50 million bid to marry off gay daughter
In this undated photo, Gigi Chao, right, daughter of the Hong Kong property tycoon Cecil Chao, poses with her partner Sean Eav at an event in Hong Kong. The daughter of the prominent Hong Kong tycoon who has offered €50 million to any man who can woo her away from her lesbian partner says she's not upset with her father.
The daughter of a Hong Kong tycoon who has offered 500 million Hong Kong dollars (50 million euro) to any man who can woo her away from her lesbian partner said she is not upset with her father.
But it is unlikely Gigi Chao will be accepting any of the marriage proposals flooding in.
Ms Chao said she is on "very loving terms" with her father, Cecil Chao.
He made world headlines this week when he offered the marriage bounty after learning that his daughter had eloped with her partner to France.
Mr Chao is the chairman of Hong Kong property developer Cheuk Nang Holdings and has a reputation for being a playboy.
He said today that he has received hundreds of offers from suitors while his daughter has had thousands.

this is what the Malta Gay movement want to finally achieve here also - Gays should have to right to live their own life but they should not expect to have all the instiutional rights that others have. A union between two of the same sex is not natural , if it were the human race would long since be exticnt ! So they should not expect to have certain rights like marriage and raising children , period .

"Period". No not period. Just because you say it doesn't mean it's the end of an argument. Don't be a fool. Have a look throughout the animal kingdom. Homosexual activity is visible in a lot of other species. Is it their choice? Is it because they lack god in their life? Are they rebelling against social norms too? Give me a break.
Know your facts before you spew out this hogwash.

Technically, the union of "one man to one woman" is not natural either... humans were genetically coded to have multiple partners, look at nature.

Veru li d-dinja waslet fl-ahhar. Kemm se ndumu naraw u nisimghu b'hmerijiet li qed jherru s-socjetajiet!!!Il-minoranzi illum il-gurnata qed jirbhu fuq il-maggoranzi ghax kulhadd jinsisti li hu biss ghandu ragun!!

yeah sure just because you think that there is no diversity we should listen to YOUR minority and banish any homosexual. Those days are over and everyone is free to his life
so best is to try to understand then destroy what you do not wish to understand.
