HONG KONG-CHINA-LGBTQ-POLITICS-COURT

Plaintiff Nick Infinger speaks to the media about the latest ruling on same-sex couples outside the Court of Final Appeal in Hong Kong on November 26, 2024. Hong Kong's top court ruled on November 26 to affirm housing and inheritance entitlements for same-sex couples, siding against the government in favour of LGBTQ rights protection. The ruling marked the end of a six-year legal battle that began when resident Nick Infinger took the government to court over a policy that excluded him and his partner from public rental housing on the grounds they were not an "ordinary family".
