Gay Marriage in Taiwan?!?!

[scooter]

Tigerman: Thank you for your inciteful additions to the conversation. I know it's a bit silly for me to give you guanxi considering you are forumosa's finest and I am but a chair-throwing legislator. however, i noticed you were a bit low...

Never considered marriage very seriously, but we are at year 5 in our relationship and the honeymoon ain't over yet. I'd consider it. Doesn't hurt that I was born in MA and still have plenty of relatives in the Boston area...

magnolia I completely agree with you.

Wow, this is an old thread. I wonder if there's been any progress on the gay marriage issue in Taiwan.

What more progress do you want, it's banned and that's all she wrote.

Well, getting it un-banned might be a step in the right direction. Just sayin'.

Last weekend, a young Taiwanese gay couple that I know got married. Sure, it's not "legal" in the sense that they have a marriage license and equal protection under the law as heterosexual couples, but they had a big ceremony at a fancy hotel with both families all gathered there supporting them. It was quite sweet.

It will take a lot of public displays like this to get anywhere at all.

I have no objection to gay marriage but it's hard enough to get it recognized inmost western countries with far more liberal attitudes than in Asia.

I doubt we will see any real progress in Taiwan for gay weddings that will be legally recognized.

Legalization, of course.

Laws can be changed.

Taiwan accepts valid marriages from the US. So, what if a gay couple, say a Taiwanese national and an US national, got married legally in Massachusetts and then returned to Taiwan to live? I wonder how the Taiwan government would react to their attempt to register their married status in Taiwan?

I know this is a very old thread, but has anyone tried this? I'm curious what the reaction would be. I'm living here mostly for my relationship, but I can't get married here, thus I have no arc. I'm a US citizen...I wonder if it's worth a shot...

Ban heterosexual marriage. Why should one group have more rights than others because of who they are fucking? That make more sense than extending the stupids.
