A Hong Kong businessman is offering $65-million to the man who can successfully take his daughter’s hand in marriage, despite the fact that his daughter, a 33-year-old lesbian, is apparently already married to her female partner.
Cecil Chao Sze-tsung said the “marriage bounty,” worth 500-million Hong Kong dollars, is to help his future son-in-law establish a new business, according to Business Insider.
Chao told the BBC that claims his daughter Gigi Chao had married partner same-sex partner Sean Eav in France were false, and that he’s already heard from men interested in courting her.
“I don’t mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted,” Chao, 76, told the BBC.
“Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work.”
Gigi Chao, who has a degree from the University of Manchester and works for her father’s company, said she found the “plan entertaining.”
Same-sex marriages are not recognized in Hong Kong. Homosexual activity was, however, decriminalized in 1991.
