00:00Hong Kong's top court has upheld three landmark rulings that grant equal housing and inheritance
00:05rights to married same-sex couples.
00:08The government's housing authority had challenged a lower court ruling that granted the rights
00:12to same-sex couples who got married outside of Hong Kong.
00:15They argued the decision would affect the rights of straight couples.
00:18But the Court of Final Appeal dismissed the government's arguments, saying that differential
00:22treatment is a severe form of indirect discrimination.
