About Hong Kong

A dense international city shaped by Cantonese culture, maritime trade and a long period of British administration.

Queer History

British colonial laws criminalized sex between men until decriminalization in 1991, after which court cases progressively dismantled unequal rules. Hong Kong Pride first marched in 2008, and in 2023 the Court of Final Appeal required the government to create an alternative legal framework recognizing same-sex partnerships, while stopping short of marriage equality.

LGBTQ+ Culture

Hong Kong has a visible gay nightlife and community sector. Same-sex marriage is not available locally, although courts have expanded some forms of recognition and rights.
