Case: introverted Sun Wenlin took the Civil Affairs Bureau to court, which was a major event of the 20 16 gay movement and was called the first case of "same-sex marriage" rights protection.
The reason is that on June 23, 2005, Sun Wenlin and her boyfriend Hu Mingliang, who had known each other for one year, went to the Civil Affairs Bureau of Furong District in Changsha for marriage registration, but the staff refused because "only one man and one woman can get married".
Sun Wenlin said that marrying her boyfriend is her "natural human right". Contrary to popular belief, he believes that same-sex marriage is legal in China, but no one practices it. He read the marriage law six times, but he couldn't find a word prohibiting same-sex marriage. At the end of last year, Sun Wenlin sued the Civil Affairs Bureau.
201On April 3, 6, the People's Court of Furong District pronounced that the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China has made special provisions on the basic procedures for applying for marriage and handling marriage registration, and the relevant marriage laws and regulations in China clearly stipulate that the subject of marriage refers to both men and women who meet the legal conditions for marriage.
Sun and Hu are both male, so it is obviously not in line with the provisions of our marriage laws and regulations to apply for marriage registration. Sun Wenlin and Hu Mingliang's appeal grounds cannot be established.
