簡介The Appellant is a post-operative male-to-female transsexual person who has undergone sex reassignment surgery (“SRS”) at hospitals managed by the Hospital Authority in Hong Kong. She and her male partner wish to get married but the Respondent refused to celebrate their marriage, deciding that she does not qualify as “a woman” under the Marriage Ordinance (“MO”) and the Matrimonial Causes Ordinance (“MCO”). The Appellant brought judicial review proceedings to challenge that decision, contending that she ought in law to count as a woman for the purposes of marriage.

題目Research Shows a Majority of People in Hong Kong Support Gay and Lesbian Couples’ Rights, Not Necessarily Marriage
日期2014
簡介Discussions in Hong Kong about same-sex couples’ rights often focus on the issue of same-sex marriage. However, marriage is not the only way the government could extend rights to same-sex couples. We conducted a public opinion survey to investigate Hong Kong people’s attitudes towards granting same-sex couples a variety of rights, including but not limited to the right to marry. We found that only 27% of the public completely agreed that same-sex couples should be permitted to marry, and 12% said that they somewhat agreed. However, when we asked about rights more generally, our findings were substantially different: 74% of the public supported granting same-sex couples either all or some of the rights that are accorded to heterosexual couples. The remainder of this briefing paper proceeds in two steps. We first provide background on our survey and present our findings. Afterwards, we explore the public policy implications of our research.

Seminar on Third-Party interventions in Court Cases on Same-sex Partnership Rights – Insights and Implications

題目Seminar on Third-Party interventions in Court Cases on Same-sex Partnership Rights – Insights and Implications
日期20180621
簡介Over the last two years, international human rights organizations, banks and law firms have applied to intervene as third parties in local courts in the Angus Leung case and the QT case. The Court of Final Appeal in April 2018 dismissed three separate applications by Amnesty international and 31 financial institutions and law firms to intervene in the government appeal in QT, which was heard in early June. Although not all were accepted, these applications to intervene in Leung and QT set further precedents for NGOs, law firms and the business sector to intervene in legal cases alleging human rights violations of same-sex couples. The seminar serve as a platform to learn and share rationale, experience and insight of advancing rights for same-sed couples through intervening in strategic legal cases.

簡介There is mounting discussion about introducing legislation in Hong Kong to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation in the private sector. The Hong Kong Equal Opportunities Commission launched a Discrimination Law Review in July 2014 and has commissioned a study on the feasibility of legislating against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status. To inform this conversation, this briefing paper presents public opinion data from a 2013 telephone survey. We report public attitudes towards gays and lesbians and towards proposed anti-discrimination legislation.

日期201401
簡介在香港，關於同性伴侶權利的討論往往集中於同性婚姻這個話題。然而，在婚姻以外，政府其實還可以用別的方式來授予同性伴侶權利。有見及此，我們進行了一項有關香港市民對同性伴侶各種權利的態度的意見調查。這項調查正正涵蓋了婚姻以及其他伴侶權利。調查發現，雖然只有27％的市民完全同意准許同性伴侶結婚和12％的人表示比較支持同性婚姻，但當我們問及婚姻以外的伴侶權利時，市民的意見便變得顯著不同： 多達74％的市民認為同性伴侶至少應該擁有異性夫婦所享有的某些權利。在此簡報中，我們會先介紹此次調查的背景及調查結果，然後就會探討這項研究對公共政策的啟示。
