Hong Kong court rules that gay couples get equal housing rights

A Hong Kong court on Tuesday dismissed a government bid to deny same-sex married couples the right to rent and own public housing saying that it was "discriminatory in nature" and a complete denial of such couples' rights. The ruling by Hong Kong's Court of Appeal is the latest in a series of legal breakthroughs for gay rights advocates in the global financial hub this year. The government had challenged two High Court rulings that it was "unconstitutional and unlawful" for the city's housing authority to exclude same-sex couples who married abroad from public housing.

Hong Kong court upholds rulings backing subsidized housing benefits for same-sex couples

A Hong Kong court has upheld two earlier rulings that supported the granting of subsidized housing benefits to same-sex couples, in another victory for the city’s LGBTQ+ community. The decision rejected appeals by the Housing Authority of the earlier rulings, which said some of its policies violated the constitutional right to equality. The Court of Appeal said in its ruling Tuesday that the differential treatment by the Housing Authority “is a more severe form of indirect discrimination than most cases because the criterion is one which same-sex couples can never meet.” The ruling is expected to have a strong impact on the lives of same-sex couples.
