Hong Kong tycoon's daughter has written a letter to her dad asking him to treat her lesbian partner like a normal dignified human being.

Gigi Chao, who married her long-term partner Sean Eav in France in 2012, also admitted that there are plenty of good men but they are just not for her, the BBC reported.

The letter, which was published in at least two Hong Kong newspapers, said that she was sorry that people had been saying insensitive things about her father.

She further wrote that she did not expect her father and her partner to be best of friends, but it would mean the world to her if he wasn't terrified of her.

Cecil, a property and shipping tycoon who himself has never married, reportedly offered to double his 2012 offer of giving 65 million dollars to any man who could woo and marry his lesbian daughter.
