Taiwan's same-sex marriage is legal. Every relationship should be loved and respected

Every love deserves to be respected and every feeling should not be discriminated against. Taiwan has taken a small step. I believe that the impact on Asia and the world is a big step. For gays, you may not understand, but please have more respect.

On February 20, the executive yuan of Taiwan promulgated the law of the people's Republic of China on the implementation of the interpretation of the Judicial Yuan Zi No. 748, and issued the draft of the same marriage. Today is the last Executive Council meeting of this month, and the draft proposed by the Ministry of justice is about to be adopted. Homosexuality in Taiwan can get married on May 24, 2019 at the latest. On October 27th, more than 130 thousand people gathered in Taipei to participate in the gay pride March. The result of next month's vote will determine whether same-sex marriage will be recognized on the island.

The Taiwan LGBT Pride is a gay parade held in Taipei on the last Saturday at the end of October every year. It attracts gay groups and social activists from all parts of Taiwan and neighboring countries and regions to participate in it. Its main purpose is to provide a platform for public appearance. The march was first held in 2003, the first gay March led by Chinese leaders. In 2018, the number of participants reached 137000, making the Taiwan gay parade the largest gay rights and interests campaign in East Asia.

Earlier, Taiwan's Justice Court announced today that the current civil law does not allow same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. The Legislative Yuan needs to complete the amendment and formulation within two years. If the amendment is not completed within the time limit, it will automatically take effect according to the current marriage. At the latest, same-sex marriage will be possible on May 24, 2019! Taiwan has become the first region in Asia where same-sex marriage is legal!

What's the difference? It's a real story adapted by Hou Jiran and Chen Zhengdao. There is a 60-70-year-old female partner who has been in contact for a long time. One of the same-sex partners who has been in hospital for many years is facing surgery, but the other side is unable to sign the operation consent because they are not legal spouses in law. Facing the struggle between human feelings and law in the hospital, it is an impressive and moving work.

In fact, there is a small editor who thinks that he has also made a lot of efforts for this: Cai Kangyong! In the entertainment circle, Taiwan artist Cai Kangyong is the only one who has come out and survived: when recording the online program "the wonderful flower said", Cai Kangyong made a speech 14 years later, revealing that "people in the entertainment circle asked me before coming out". He said more frankly that he was the only one out of the cabinet who was still alive, so he was' too lonely '. To the emotional place, Cai Kangyong lost his voice several times and burst into tears on the spot. Now, Taiwan's' legalization of homosexuality ', he will not cry for it!
