Hong Kong hosts Asia's first gay games, marking a significant milestone for LGBTQ+ rights in the region. Despite opposition, the event attracted participants from 45 countries and over 2,300 participants. Hong Kong has no law against discrimination based on sexual orientation, and the ruling by the city's top court set a deadline for the establishment of a legal framework to recognize same-sex unions. The court's recent rulings have also granted same-sex couples equal inheritance rights and housing rights, signaling progress towards LGBTQ+ equality in Hong Kong.
