Taiwan is set to be the first place in Asia to allow gay marriage after a landmark ruling by the island’s constitutional court.
The court said existing laws stipulating that wedlock must be between a man and a woman “was in violation of both the people’s freedom of marriage...and the people’s right to equality”.
“Sexual orientation is an immutable characteristic that is immutable to change,” said the court, also known as the Judicial Yuan. “The freedom of marriage for two persons of the same sex...will constitute the collective basis, together with opposite-sex marriage, for a stable society.”
Members of China’s LGBT community hailed the ruling. “It will form an important part of our strategy for the LGBT rights movement in China and be a good guide for Chinese law,” said Wei Xiaogang, executive director of Beijing Gender, a non-governmental organisation that lobbies for LGBT rights.
“Mainland couples will go to Taiwan to get married,” Mr Wei predicted. “And Taiwanese LGBT people will be able to marry their mainland partners.”

I'm sure Georgie knew plenty of fags in the military. If he was bothered by it then he would probably ave legislated about it, but he didn't.

A court ruling doesn't legalize it.
That requires multiple new laws and administrative regulations first. Courts don't make laws.
Good fake news though.

The Highest Court can rule on the legality of an issue under the Constitution. They can't legislate it but they can make it legal.
>>143159
In some ways, Yes but at the same time it also has laws against buggery.

Come to think SYS was a Christian and so was much of the initial generation of intellectuals and leaders.
At the same time though I've read about a form of gay marriage in Fujian (whom the majority of Taiwanese have roots to).

Same as the US system? Lots of democracies are based off the US so I'm just wondering how similar it is.

Think you're born gay? Try being born again
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” -John 3:3
