Ms. W Loses Hong Kong Trans Marriage Case

Bad news from Hong Kong that hopefully won't impact the ongoing Araguz case percolating just outside of Houston in  Wharton County..

Ms W., the transwoman who was fighting to marry her boyfriend, lost her legal challenge today (Tuesday Hong Kong time).

Ms. W argued that her rights under Hong Kong's Constitution and the Bill of Rights were violated   Hong Kong's Registry of Marriages only allows cis men and cis women to get married.
