Commenting on Liu’s remarks, Garden of Hope Foundation chief executive officer Chi Hui-jung (紀惠容) said that gender should not be binary. Gender qualities, gender identity and sexual orientation are all diverse, she said, adding that the choice of each individual regarding their gender is a human right. If parents cannot accept the gender identity of their children, those children become even less confident, she said. As a result, it is easy for children to accept LGBT groups, but difficult for older people to do the same, she said. LGBT people existed before same-sex marriage was legalized, Equal Love Taiwan public relations manager Lee Cheng-han (李政翰) said.
