Hong Kong's first openly gay lawmaker is known as "Slow Beat" from his days as a disc jockey, but Raymond Chan says there is nothing slow about his plans to reform the Asian banking hub.
Chan publicly revealed his sexuality only after winning a seat in the former British colony's legislature last weekend, as a representative of the radically pro-democracy People Power party.
He said he plans to use the four-year term of the 70-seat assembly to push for full democracy and the legalisation of same-sex marriage in the socially conservative southern Chinese city.
