It has been a rather rough year for ex-TVB actor, Liu Kai Chi (廖啓智), whose HKTV drama The Borderline <警界線> may have an indefinite broadcast postponement due to the station’s inability to obtain their license. At the home front, Liu Kai Chi has been dealing with his 19-year-old son’s emergent sexual identity, as the high schooler desires to be a woman and enjoys cross-dressing. Liu Kai Chi’s son, Liu Man Chit (廖文哲), recently uploaded numerous photos of himself with heavy makeup and a wig onto social networking sites such as Facebook. On top of frequently pronouncing that he is gay, Man Chit also uploaded a nude drawing of himself as a woman with the caption “Maybe I like being a woman!” An insider revealed, “Liu Kai Chi’s eldest son does well in school, but in middle school he formed a band with friends and had a change in behavior. All of his friends were boys and he liked to dress up as a woman. When he goes out, he puts on lip stick and eyeliner.” Parents Puts Blame On Themselves On one hand, Barbara Chan (陳敏兒) overtly admitted that she neglected Liu Man Chit and his second brother when her youngest son was diagnosed with leukemia. She then reflected on her son’s the teenage years when she and Liu Kai Chi relaxed their former strict methods and turned into lenient parents – ultimately leading Liu Man Chit to take up smoking as a habit. Liu Kai Chi uncharacteristically gave sharp answers when asked whether he would change his son’s behavior since they are Christians. Regarding his lenient parenting methods, he calmly replied, “You can’t pressure change in this world. He has his own thoughts and everyone follows a different path.” Let It Go! Openly gay prominent figures such as Ronald Leung (梁奕倫) and Raymond Chan (陳志全) both argued that parents should just allow their kids to freely be whomever they want, instead of giving them pressure on their sexual orientation. Sexual orientation amongst Hong Kong celebrities have recently grabbed the public’s interest, such as Sire Ma (馬賽) being “frozen” by TVB for her lesbian scandal and Denise Ho (何韻詩) advocating for greater LGBT rights.
