Billionaire's huge bounty to find gay daughter Gigi Chao a husband
- 10 years ago
Hong Kong property tycoon, Cecil Chao Sze-tsung has put a bounty on his daughter's head!
Or, more accurately, on her uterus! The billionaire has offered $120 Million US dollars, or one BILLION Hong Kong dollars, to any man that can marry his daughter, Gigi. His 33 year old daughter, Gigi Chao, is one of Hong Kong's foremost LGBT activists and co-founder of the Big Love Alliance LGBT rights advocacy group.
Maybe you've guessed, she's gay.
Not only that, but Gigi's already married! In 2012, she and her longtime partner, Sean Eav, were married in France. But thanks to her dad's public bounty, the couple has been beset by a barrage of screwball marriage proposals, with some suitors even including dick pics. As if that would help. But as hard as the situation might be for Gigi and Sean, that's nothing compared to the stakes faced by a traditional Chinese parent like Cecil Chao!
Confucian family dynamics dictate that children shall dutifully marry a partner of their parents' choosing, then double time the production of male offspring to carry on the family name,
as well as burn ghost money for dead relatives, and sweep their graves. Failure by a child to perform these filial duties dooms the chinese parent to an eternity of poverty in the afterlife!
An unacceptable outcome for any Confucian parent, especially one who enjoys wealth and power comparable to a Tang Dynasty emperor in his pre-death phase.
Unfortunately for Cecil Chao, it isn't the Tang dynasty anymore, and he can't just order his eunuchs to hold Gigi down, while his 2nd and 3rd wives bind her feet and toss her into the nuptial chamber with the son of some Mongolian warlord. Not helping the situation at all, Gigi's mother is an Evangelical Christian who thinks the planet is 7 thousand years old, and that being gay is a choice. Nevertheless, Gigi says she loves her parents and they have a good relationship overall.
