Contributing sentiments towards policy:
55% : Same-sex activity was legalised in Hong Kong in 1991, but same-sex marriages and unions are still now allowed.47% : Hong Kong's top court has ruled in favour of giving same-sex couples legal recognition, though stopped short of demanding full marriage equality.
44% : The victory is, however, a partial one as the court unanimously dismissed an attempt to recognise overseas-registered same-sex marriage for all citizens in the region.
43% : Five judges handed down the decision after years of legal battles challenging the government's refusal to allow same-sex marriage or civil unions.
43% : Their ruling said the legal recognition of same-sex couples will "provide them with a sense of legitimacy, dispelling any sense that they belong to an inferior class of persons whose relationship is undeserving of recognition."
