HSBC CEO Walks Lesbian Couple Down the Aisle (Video) - The MuseHSBC CEO Walks Lesbian Couple Down the Aisle (Video) Jennifer and Sam, a lesbian couple in Taiwan, had a rather unusual wedding ceremony. Instead of Jennifers father walking her down the aisle as tradition dictates, the CEO of her company did the honor.In spite of being a couple for over a decade, Jennifers parents have never acknowledged her relationship. They dont accept Sam, and they dont accept that their daughter is a lesbian. Its little surprise then that they declined to attend the pairs nuptials. The larger surprise, however, may be the show of support for Jennifer and Sam from HSBC, Jennifers employer. The countrys HSBC CEO, John Li, accompanied her down the aisle, telling her to walk slowly and try not to be nervous.Although Jennifer says she was initially reluctant to come out to her co-workers- working in a conservative banking environment added to her hesitation- the show of support and acceptance she experie nced when she finally showed her true self was remarkable. If theres one takeaway from this heartwarming tale, its that comfort and love come from many directions. A job isnt just a job- or, at least, it doesnt have to be if you find the right company and colleagues. Because wouldnt it be great if the amount of time we spent at the office amounted to more than a paycheck? Screenshot courtesy of HSBC/YouTube.
