Hong Kong gay couple Angus Leung and Scott Adams recall fight for spousal rights and equality
- 5 years ago
In 2015, Angus Leung, a senior immigration officer in Hong Kong, took the government to court after the city’s secretary for civil service refused to grant spousal benefits to his British husband Scott Adams. Leung also challenged the Inland Revenue Department, which did not allow the couple to submit a joint tax assessment. In June 2019, Hong Kong’s top court ruled in their favour, marking a milestone for the city’s LGBT community. (Photo: Sam Tsang)
