This paper intends to investigate the mutual benefits of examining sexual minority people's rights in Hong Kong and Confucianism. It has four objectives. Firstly, it aims to discuss the components of Confucianism. Secondly, it seeks to explore three strategies for promoting Confucianism: 'Ren', 'Li', and 'Ideal Society'. Thirdly, it aims to demonstrate how analysing these strategies can enhance our understanding of the relationship between sexual minority rights in Hong Kong and Confucianism. To achieve this objective, it undertakes two analytical tasks: first, to evaluate criticisms of efforts aimed at strengthening sexual minority people's rights in Hong Kong through the lens of these three strategies; and second, to assess the potential usefulness of these strategies in exploring the compatibility between the sexual minority people's ways of life and Confucianism. Finally, the paper aims to examine how studying sexual minority people's rights in Hong Kong can contribute to the discussion of the Confucian welfare model.
