日期20190606
簡介This appeal concerns equality under the law and involves an application of the legal principles identified and applied in this Court’s recent decision in QT v Director of Immigration. It arises in the context of a claim to entitlement to spousal medical and dental benefits under the Civil Service Regulations (“CSRs”) and to opt for joint assessment of salaries tax under the Inland Revenue Ordinance. As will be seen, the appellant claims he has been unlawfully discriminated against on the basis of his sexual orientation.

日期20180721
簡介A university in Glasgow has fired a Catholic chaplain for holding a prayer service at his parish “in reparation” for the city’s gay pride parade. The Glasgow gay pride parade featured over 5,000 participants with 50,000 attendees. It is considered the largest gay pride event in the country. After hearing of Father Morris’ prayer service, the university said it was “extremely disappointed” and immediately terminated him as a result.

題目Online hate blamed as researchers find homophobia is increasing among young people in UK
日期20191015
簡介A poll seen exclusively by The Independent found one in four 18- to 24-year-olds thought LGBT+ people were “immoral” or that homosexuality contravened their beliefs, compared to one in five across all age groups. The findings prompted warnings of a “worrying cultural shift” in the UK, following years of falling discrimination against the gay community. It came as new Home Office figures showed dramatic rise in hate crimes targeting LGBT+ people in England and Wales.
