For So Sung-uk and Kim Yong-min, who last week won a landmark court ruling on national health coverage for gay couples, the tide may finally be turning in their years-long struggle for equal recognition in South Korea for LGBT partnerships. | Reuters
The two also managed to secure national health insurance coverage for So, who works with a youth HIV support group, as a dependent based on his partnership with Kim, an employee for an organization that advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer rights.
“I see this ruling not just as a one-off win but a sign that we are starting to win – that love has won and it will again,” So said. South Korea’s health service said in a statement it would conduct a legal review to decide whether to challenge the latest court decision before the Supreme Court.
