Mother still feels pressure to come out

"Violence" focuses on making technology product evaluation videos. In the videos, he has always shown himself as a gay, and even said that he would be proud of it. She filmed a video for Global Pride, the 2020 large-scale online sex/sex niche event, and told the story of her coming out. She revealed that she wrote a letter when she was in college, confessing her sexual orientation to her mother. Although my mother has always been open-minded, her "violence" is still uneasy about whether coming out of the closet will affect the mother-daughter relationship. The pressure is as great as gambling. "Violence" confessed that before coming out to his family, such "gambling" actually happened every day. She noticed her preference for women since elementary school and wanted to confess to her family every day, but it wasn't until she was in college that she had the courage to say so.

"Violence" shot a short film the year before to share his own experience and promote the message of Global Pride 2020.

Although her mother is quite avant-garde and open, "Violence", as a gay, is still under a lot of pressure when she wants to come out with her family, so she understands the difficulties faced by the sexual minorities who are not as happy as her, and she also thinks of using YouTuber identity and convey the message of equality to the audience. She once said in the film: "Since everyone is human, why can't we have the right to love and be loved? If the other person is of the same gender as us, we cannot love him/her or be loved by him. / She loves, this is a very, very unfortunate thing.”

Hope the relationship is legally confirmed to make medical decisions

She and her partner "Mei Mei" started dating in 2016. Because of their love for each other, she hopes that their relationship will be recognized and protected by law. "Meimei" was hit by a car in front of "violence". At that time, what was entangled in "violence" was a realistic and helpless problem, and it was also the situation that plagued many same-sex couples - if there is any serious problem with the partner, it must be If you make a decision in the hospital, legally the person closest to you has nothing to do with you, and you can't decide anything for him. "Violence" thinks this is a very sad thing, so even if you can't get married in Hong Kong, you still hope to become a legal partner in a foreign country with your girlfriend. In the event of an accident, she can be whoever belongs to the other party and make decisions for the other party.

The registration ceremony last September was bland and warm

On September 24, 2021, Violence and Meimei were witnessed by Violence's mother at Eaton Hotel in Hong Kong. They registered online and officially became each other's wives. On that day, the two did not dress up in a grand manner. They only gathered with their family members and their cat in the conference room of the hotel, and held a simple video ceremony with the American side. The process was bland but warm.

Utah launches online registration as an international wedding destination

The marriage equality movement in Hong Kong has not made any progress so far, so many same-sex couples will go abroad to register , and the United States is one of the popular choices . In May 2020, the state of Utah launched an online marriage registration service, which has so far registered marriages for more than 3,500 international couples. The partners came from a number of countries and regions, including Azerbaijan, China, Estonia, Finland, Denmark, France, Guam, Iceland, Kenya and Madagascar, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. To apply for online registration, you only need to provide identification documents, and the process is simple. The fee for foreigners to apply for a marriage license starts at US$125 (approximately HK$975) per couple, while the fee for a video salute is US$35 (approximately HK$272). Affordable prices, combined with the fact that the pandemic has made international travel difficult, have made Utah an unexpected destination for international weddings.
