One part of the leaflet addresses common myths about homosexuals and bisexuals, distinguishing the facts from the fiction. These include misunderstandings about homosexuality/bisexuality and AIDS and the stereotyping of gays and lesbians.
Free copies of the leaflet will be distributed to homosexual groups, secondary and tertiary education institutions, public libraries, employers' organisations and chambers of commerce.
They are also available at the Marketing Office of the Information Services Department, 17th floor, Siu On Centre, 176-192 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, and all district offices.

Soldiers host last Gurkha Fair
Soldiers from 1st Battalion the Royal Gurkha Rifles (1 RGR) will host the fast Gurkha Fair this weekend and hope to attract hundreds of visitors to their Headquarters at Malaya Lines, near Kam Tin, to help raise money for local and overseas charities.
The Fair, to be opened by the second runner-up in the 1996 Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant, Miss Chillie Poon, will take place on Saturday and Sunday (October 5 and 6) and open from 11 am to 9 pm.
Other units from the Garrison taking part include 29 Transport Squadron Logistic Support Regiment's lion dance and motorcycle display teams, which performed in front of the Royal Family at the Royal Tournament earlier this year, and the Defence Animal Support Unit's Army Dog Display Team.
Musical highlights will be provided by the Pipes and Drums of 1 RGR, the Salvation Army Band and the Royal Hong Kong Police Band. Children from the Gurkha Primary School will also perform traditional Nepali dancing.
The Fair will take place on the Polo Field at Malaya Lines, near Kam Tin, and money raised during the two-day event will be divided between the Gurkha Welfare Trust, the Army Benevolent Fund and the Disabled People's Home in Tuen Mun. Last year's Fair had raised over $156,000.
