LGBTQIA+ End-of-life Rights: WHERE ARE WE NOW after years of Judicial Reviews? As the first event of Pride Month, Alongside co-hosted a public seminar with law firm Daly & Associates, focusing on the post-death legal rights of same-sex couples. Hosted by Alongside Brand Ambassador Louis, the event featured Ms. Kitty Chong, a lawyer with extensive experience in judicial review cases. She explained, in clear and accessible terms, whether same-sex partners can inherit estates, handle end-of-life arrangements, or inherit public housing in Hong Kong. She also unpacked the implications of the Court of Final Appeal’s decision in the Jimmy Sham case on future legal frameworks. The event was fully booked, with an engaged audience actively raising questions. It was made possible with funding support from the SIE Fund and venue sponsorship from Eaton HK, in strong support of LGBTQIA+ issues.
