Tycoon Upsets Gay Daughter
By Offering $120 Million to
Any Man Who Marries Her .......Dad refuses to stop embarrassing his daughter
even though she's been in a nine-year
relationship with her girlfriend ..... A Hong Kong property tycoon has doubled the dowry for any man who marries his lesbian
daughter. The sum now stands at a cool $120
million. Cecil Chao Sze-tsung told Malaysian newspaper Nanyang Siang Pau on Monday that he has not finished trying to arrange a straight match for
openly gay Gigi Chao, 33. The last time he made
the offer of a reward — then a mere $60 million
— 20,000 suitors applied. “I don’t want to interfere with my daughter’s
private life,” said Cecil, not too convincingly. “I
only hope for her to have a good marriage and
children as well as inherit my business.” News of the offer has left Sean Eav, Gigi Chao’s
partner for nine years, “distraught,” reports the
the South China Morning Post. Gigi Chao has spoken of the couple’s anguish at her father’s
behavior and told the Post that she has repeatedly asked him to stop offering the
bounty. Gigi Chao is a highly respected LGBT activist in
Hong Kong and a founding member of the local
gay rights group Big Love Alliance.
