Hong Kong’s top court rules in favour of legal recognition for same-sex couples
theguardian.com
Hong Kong must provide an alternative to marriage in order to legally recognise the rights of same-sex couples, the city’s highest court has declared, opening the way for civil unions.
However, it rejected appeals against current laws which restrict marriage to heterosexual couples and refuse to recognise overseas same-sex marriages, despite majority support among the population.
The ruling said Hong Kong’s government was “in violation of its positive obligations” under the bill of rights to provide a legal framework to recognise same-sex couples outside the institution of marriage, and gave it two years to establish a system.

I'm from Hong Kong. This is reality.
Condescension and smugness doesn't make you sound correct. It just makes sound misinformed and willfully ignorant.
I'm from Hong Kong too and he's completely wrong.
Are you talking about yourself?
Spoken like a true pro-CCP mainlander who's mom came over to give birth and reap all the social benefits while actively voting to tear down all the democratic institutions.
Nope. I'm none of that. Stop with your assumptions and try again.
