同志組織「彩虹行動」義工楊柱永前年提出司法覆核,指出《刑事罪行條例》中其中7項與肛交相關等性罪行,對男同志構成歧視,要求法院頒令有關條例屬違憲。法官今日(30日)頒下判辭,裁定「促致他人作出同性肛交」和「兩名16歲以下男子作出重猥褻作為」等共4條罪行條文違憲,另外3條則採納律政司提出的補救解釋,增加「女子」等字眼,以讓性別平等。

Tommy Noel Chen, founder of Rainbow Action, a local LGBT rights group, said his organisation had been trying to get these laws changed for more than 20 years.
