Hong Kong newlyweds lament veto on same-sex rights bill as blow to city | The World | ABC NEWS
Same sex couples in Hong Kong are still reeling from a government decision to deny them limited legal rights. Last week, the city’s legislative council vetoed a bill that would have granted recognition to same sex partnerships registered overseas. It’s the first bill to be voted down since Hong Kong overhauled its electoral rules that effectively filled the legislature with pro-Beijing loyalists.
