July 19, 2024
|The Philippine Star
South Korea's Supreme Court recognized new rights for same-sex couples yesterday, saying the state must provide health insurance for a gay man's partner, in a landmark ruling that left activists weeping for joy.
-
"National Health Insurance should recognize spousal insurance coverage for same-sex couples," the court ruled, with activists breaking into cheers as the verdict was read out.
The verdict, which cannot be appealed as it comes from the country's highest court, means common-law spouses of the same sex can now register as dependents on their partners' health insurance.
