Taiwan has become the first place in Asia to let same-sex couples marry with most of the same civil code benefits that male-female couples get.
every year in Taiwan draw upwards of 80,000 people. Many in their ranks had pushed for the same-sex marriage legislation since 2016 when the Democratic Progressive Party regained the presidency. The ruling party-led parliament had proposed bills as far back as late 2016 but paused in 2017 to await the Constitutional Court order.
More than 250 same-sex couples are planning to register marriages across Taiwan on May 24, according to the government-run Central News Agency. At least 1,200 newlyweds and their invitees are scheduled to hold a mass party a day later on a blocked-off boulevard outside the presidential office. The same-sex marriage bill still had to withstand numerous setbacks, baring a staunch conservative population in Taiwan.
Opponents of same-sex marriage had raised fears of insurance benefit scams and children confused by having two mothers or two fathers.
