LGBTQ groups urge Hong Kong to ‘fully recognise’ same-sex partnerships ahead of bill’s second reading

Amnesty International Hong Kong Overseas and 30 LGBTQ groups in Asia issued a joint letter on Monday, calling on the government to “fully comply” with a landmark ruling by the city’s Court of Final Appeal in 2023. The ruling mandates an “alternative framework” that recognises same-sex partnerships to be set up within two years.
