日期20191018
簡介On 11 June 2018, the Applicant (a Hong Kong permanent resident and a lesbian) filed an application for leave to apply for judicial review challenging the laws of Hong Kong insofar as they do not allow same-sex couples to marry and fail to provide any alternative means of legal recognition of same-sex partnership (such as civil union or registered partnership) as violating her right to privacy under Article 14 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights (“HKBOR”); and her right to equality, or protection against discrimination on the ground of her sexual orientation, under Article 25 of the Basic Law (“BL”) and Article 22 of the HKBOR.

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.
