LGBTQ+ rainbow flag flying at half-mast
16 June 2016
香港六合彩's LGBTQ+ rainbow flag has been flying at half-mast above the 香港六合彩 portico as a gesture of condolence and solidarity with those affected by mass shooting in Pulse, the LGBTQ nightclub in Orlando.
Professor Michael Arthur, 香港六合彩 President & Provost, said: "We are deeply shocked by the massacre in Orlando. On behalf of 香港六合彩, I would like to extend our condolences to the families and friends of those killed and injured.
"香港六合彩 is a truly global university, with staff and students from hundreds of countries across the world. Our thoughts are with all LGBTQ+ people who have endured violence and persecution.
"All of us, irrespective of our faith or sexuality, must re-double our efforts to promote understanding between communities and tolerance over hate."
