We’re excited about the latest Court win in HK that requires the HK gov to create a legal framework to recognise same-s*x partnerships.

One of our resident lawyers provided an explainer!

—

The appellant bringing the case wanted 3 things:
1. Right to same-s*x marriage
2. If there is no right to same-s*x marriage, then a legal framework to recognise same-s*x partnerships
3. Have overseas same-s*x marriages recognised in HK

The Court dismissed 1 and 3 but agreed to 2. The Court said that the government and LegCo has 2 years to enact such a legal framework.

Right now, same s*x married couples in HK can be recognised for the purpose of spousal visas, tax, civil service benefits, and funeral rights. It is possible that LegCo only formalises the 4 areas of rights that the Court has previously granted. But it is also possible that LegCo gives more rights; and in fact, it is more likely that they would.

This is because the Court stated the right to privacy often imposes a positive obligation on the government to take action that prevents such right from being infringed.

The limited rights currently granted rests on the right to privacy. It is a right to stop the gov unnecessarily subjecting same-s*x married people to intrusive action that isn’t required for heteros*xual couples. An example of such gov interference was spousal visas. Since HK immigration didn’t accept a same-s*x marriage certificate, they requested a lot of extra evidence from same s*x couples that was deeply intrusive. Also, the couples had to litigate the matter in the courts, exposing them to public attention. The courts granting of recognition of same s*x marriage for the purpose of spousal visas was to ensure the HK gov fulfilled its obligation to a citizen’s right to privacy in this particular scenario.

The court's latest ruling is to therefore ensure LegCo and the HK Gov fulfil their obligation to a citizen's right to privacy by creating a legal framework to formalise the existing rights granted in piecemeal and review whether other scenarios need to be addressed.

The word 同志 (tung4 zi3 / tong2 zhi4) is Chinese slang for “gay”. The compound meant “comrade” in modern Chinese, in which its literal meaning is to have the same vision, inclination, and aspiration. We’ve reversed the compound in our logo to place the emphasis on vision, inclination, and aspiration, to invite a new perspective on what q***r community with a shared vision could mean.

Tandem is a growing q***r community in HK. Come join us! Find us on the Meetup App and check out our latest events!

在現代中文裏，“同志”（tung4 zi3 / tong2 zhi4）一詞是 “同性戀者” 的別稱。這個字眼原本是指有著相同願景、取向和追求的同伴。我們的標志把這兩個字的排序倒轉，把重點稍微轉移，以啓發大家從新的角度詮釋酷兒社群的意義，發掘共同願景。

志同是一個不斷成長的香港酷兒群組。立即加入志同！歡迎在 Meetup 手機應用程式上搜索並瀏覽我們最新的活動！
