Can court orders against discrimination change same-sex couples' lives in Hong Kong? | DW News

In 2023, the territory's highest court ordered the government to create a legal framework for same-sex relationships. But since then, affected people tell DW nothing has changed.

    ? Those countries are not defying their own high courts in implementation of rights. And for the EU members, they indeed do recognize same-sex spouses for the purposes of immigration and family repatriation as a harmonized rule. "doesn't mean it is universal values." We all know China doesn't respect the UNDHR, but Hong Kong not doing so is actually noteworthy.

    However, it is also the highest court's right and responsibility to determine which law is illegal under the Basic Law (the city's mini constitution). Since the Basic Law protects people of all gender orientations, the Highest Court has decided that the current system is discriminatory against non-heterosexual people and it is within the courts right that they demand this be changed.

    @@mariatorres9789 Firstly the court did not order changing of marriage, but asked for an alternative path for the legal recognition of gay couples. Second of all, sorry, but in Chinese cultures for thousands of years marriage has not been between a man and a woman, but between a man and his 3 wifes and his 4 concubines. Polygamy was only outlawed in Hong Kong as late as 1971 (changing the definition of what marriage is). And in olden times women were expected to have 3 obediences and 4 virtues and so on. Times change and so must society and so must we, we can't run the clock backwards.

    Its almost like society becomes more progressive the more educated, tolerant, and compassionate people are.

We can only hope that the essential human rights of LGBT people continue to be expanded across the world in places like Hong Kong. Still a lot of work ahead even in Western Europe.
