ShanghaiPRIDE 2017 Campaign Visuals Released – The Time is Now

Pride9 is just around the corner, and we accidentally knocked over some rainbow paint…

Justine – When I came back from Vancouver, I was surprised that many people around me still have biases and discrimination towards the LGBTQ community, hence I decided to stand up. I met her at the gym, later again at a meet-up with some friends. I treasure our relationship and feelings a lot. The Time is Now to eliminate discrimination!

Daphnee – My mom is very conservative, but she still loves me after I came out. It was love at first sight when I saw her, I feel comfortable sharing myself selflessly when I am with her. Plus, I believe only I can stand her bad temper. The Time is Now to be your true self!

Sunny – As far as I can remember, I have always liked boys. For the past ten years, I felt the society has been more open-minded and people are more inclusive. When he is around me, I am me. The Time is Now to love who you love!

Xiaoxiong – When I met him six years ago, I can feel that he will be the one. Last year we went to Greece for vacation, the Aegean Sea was more beautiful with him by my side. The Time is Now to embrace diversity!

Evie – Many think that being bisexual is just greedy, or that I will follow the mainstream values and select the opposite sex as partners sooner or later. But, my affection is regardless of gender. It is about trust, care and growing together, gender is secondary. The Time is Now to love fearlessly!

Annin – When I was younger, there were no big differences between boys and girls, but as I grow older, gender became restrictions. At my college graduation ceremony, receiving my degree marked the day I became the new me. And every day after that, as I gradually took off my disguise, I became happier. The Time is Now to be who you are!

Special thanks to Neocha @ajschokora for the creative and production.
