Yesterday, when Taiwan announced the legalization of homosexuality, did many comrades cry with joy? According to the report of Taiwan Central News Agency on February 21st, the executive yuan of Taiwan authorities approved the draft of the Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748th implementation law on the same day, stipulating that same-sex marriage can be established by same-sex partners who are 18 years old in Shimachi Toshima, and the special law will be implemented from May 24th. The bill will be submitted to the Legislative Yuan for deliberation.
If they are of the same gender, over 20 years old and one of them is Thai, they can be registered as' partners' (non husband and wife) and enjoy the same basic rights as husband and wife, including signing emergency medical consent, buying funeral, handling criminal proceedings on behalf of spouse, joint property rights, tax relief, sharing debts, inheritance and family name change.
Blessing! Every kind of love should be respected!!
