Chief Justice Andrew Cheung stated that the exclusion of same-sex married couples from Hong Kong's housing policies cannot be justified, emphasizing that welfare benefits must be free from discrimination.
Nick Infinger expressed his satisfaction with the ruling, stating that it affirms the right of same-sex couples to love one another and live together, marking the decision as very important.
Jerome Yau, co-founder of Hong Kong Marriage Equality, highlighted that the ruling sends a strong message to the government to cease the denial of spousal benefits to same-sex couples.
Judges Joseph Fok and Roberto Ribeiro stated that the government failed to justify the differential treatment of inheritance rights for same-sex couples, labeling such policies as unlawful and unconstitutional.
