Ten Couples Marry Online in Hong Kong

Ten same-sex couples in Hong Kong got married in the US via the internet due to Hong Kong not recognizing same-sex marriage, emphasizing a form of protest and raising awareness for marriage equality. The event, part of Pride Month, had couples legally marrying with an officiant from Utah, aiming to highlight the importance of love beyond gender. Despite Hong Kong only recognizing heterosexual marriages, the ceremony, organized by Next Chapter, aimed to advocate for broader acceptance and legal rights for same-sex couples, showcasing societal progress in acknowledging diverse relationships.
