How Taiwan Became the First in Asia To Legalize Same-Sex Marriage | Rainbow Guide to Life

Same-sex marriage became legal in Taiwan in May 24, 2019, after decades of advocacy by the LGBTQ community. The bill establishes limited legal rights for same-sex couples in terms of taxes, insurance and adoption. This landmark decision makes the self-ruled island the first place in Asia to pass gay marriage legislation.
But gay marriage is divisive in Taiwan, and the marriage equality bill is still incomplete. More than a year after the marriage equality bill was passed, LGBTQ rights groups are now calling for a full legal recognition for same-sex couples and queer families. Currently, transnational same-sex couples cannot marry in Taiwan unless both countries recognize same-sex marriage. LGBTQ couples also do not yet have the rights for surrogacy.
VICE World News speaks with veteran gay rights activist, Chi Chia-Wei, who has been lobbying for marriage equality as early as 1986, and other same-sex couples whose lives have been impacted by the legalization of queer marriages.

[@zakwanarif]

Why can’t Japan do the same tho? Most countries in Asia like Saudi Arabia and Malaysia don’t allow same-sex marriage because of religion restrictions while Japan that has one of the highest number of atheist still can’t legalize gay marriage. It’s not like the religion is holding it back in Japan.

[@shokikobo9826]

@@zakwanarif you are right. Japan doesn't really have religious people but there is very unique and strongly rooted tendency in Japanese society, which is peer pressure and conservativeness.

Sexuality is something we got born with, not something we can catch in the wild like pokemons. Where did you pull this logic from? Your ass? And 'lgbt' stands for 'lesbian, gay, *bisexual* , trans' and for your info bisexual is someone that likes both genders so I don't see the world getting low on child birth.

Unfortunately it wont be for long if the CCP has its way. I really truly hope it doesnt happen, but China will soon invade and unfortunately they will lose all the freedoms that they have fought so hard for.

[@orbitearth7579]

If they wont allow foreigner to marry a taiwanese. Simple, just live in taiwan for more than 5 years. Then be a citizen of taiwan. That way you can married them. Its my plan for my life😊.

[@alvegutt42]

now they allowed it. it used to be only those who have citizenship from countries that also has gay marriage. but now its any nationality. it happened in march. this was probably filmed a while ago, and they forgot to update it

[@weih2974]

Thankfully Taiwan will soon join the motherlands and people like you will be deported

[@jehgelo]

Taiwan is so near in Philippines and yet my country philippines not as open as taiwan. It is the time to step up

[@yuntingtan5855]

This is so great to watch ! Thanks for sharing with us and All the best to the amendment!!

[@jypmina_penguinprincess6273]

Yes TAIWAN!!

[@xilluk3333]

I hope in Philippines too. Government is agreed but the churches and legislation are against it. Good luck Taiwan, I hope it would be good example to all Asian countries to legalize same sex marriage

[@chatterbox7602]

Marriage is ok but do hope the govt doesn't allow them to adopt children because it is not fair for the adopted children to live or have same sex parent isn't it.

[@silly_lil_guy]

You make 0 sense

[@karelingabon]

Lgbt is important so that they will adopt the children of the irresponsible lustful heterosexual beings like you, hypocrite!

[@fccc3379]

It’s already been legalized sorry. Instead of worrying if the parents are gay/lesbian, you should be happy and appreciate that now more children who were abandoned by their straight biological parents are able to live with loving parents regardless of sexual orientation.

[@readwrite1815]

I've heard that Indonesia will be the 2nd country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. That's a good news!

[@hansel.2105]

Amen for that Hahahahahah 🇮🇩🏳️‍🌈❤

[@honeymayotudtagalog915]

I felt sad for them,same my situation,I have a taiwanesse girlfriend and I am a filipino.i use to work in taiwan for 12 years as a caregiver in a nursing home,I met my beautiful girlfriend at work.we plan to get married but the government don't allow us,so depressing..the word EQUALITY IS NOT REAL FOR US,especially to my girlfriend because shes a taiwanesse and she couldn't be happy like.other LGBTQ..now I'm here in my country just this August 2021,waiting and hoping that the law must favor many of the taiwanesse who has a foreigner partner that gay marriage is not legal..pray and hoping and wishing to carry the rainbow flag soon

[@user-lk8wf6xl2z]

As a Chinese.What occurs to me is that if CCP invades Taiwan.They’ll definitely ruin the LGBTQ rights of Taiwan.So cherish your freedom and protect this excellent island!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈
