Excerpt:

The court said that the right applies equally to a cohabiting same-sex partner if he, or she, had been in an "emotional and physical" relationship with the deceased. It was a response to the case of a gay man, identified only as Adam K. , who sued Warsaw city authorities for denying him the right to stay in the city-owned apartment his partner had rented. The suit was rejected by the lowest court and the man appealed. The court considering the appellation was not sure if the right applied and sought the interpretation from the Supreme Court, which pointed to the Constitution which guarantees equal rights to all. In denying the apartment to the man, Warsaw authorities argued that it understood relationships to be between heterosexual couples.
