Chinese Court refuses first Gay Marriage in China
On Wednesday, a judge ruled against a gay couple in
China's first same-sex marriage case. The court in the city of Changsha,
central China's Henan Province threw out the suit against the local civil
affairs bureau that refused to issue the couple a marriage registration
certificate.
26-year-old Sun Wenlin and 37-year-old Hu Mingliang had been
together over a year when they decided to register their marriage with Changsha
City Furong District Civil Affairs Bureau, MailOnline reports.
However on June 23, 2015, Changsha's marriage bureau refused
saying that only a man and a woman can get married. At that point Sun Wenlin
decided to take legal action.
