CONGRATULATIONS TAIWAN!!! It's great to see Asia finally becoming more progressive!!! What will be the next Asian country to pass same sex marriage?
>Lawmakers in Taiwan have approved a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, a landmark decision that makes the self-ruled island the first place in Asia to pass gay marriage legislation.
>The vote came almost two years after the island's Constitutional Court ruled that the existing law -- which said marriage was between a man and a woman -- was unconstitutional. The panel of judges gave the island's parliament two years to amend or enact new laws.
>On Friday -- only a week off the two-year deadline -- lawmakers in Taiwan's Legislative Yuan passed a bill making same-sex marriage a reality. It will go into effect on May 24.
>Thousands turned of gay rights activists, many bearing umbrellas, rainbow flags and rainbow placards, gathered in heavy rain in the capital Taipei in support of marriage equality.
Ahead of the vote, Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen tweeted:
>"Today we have a chance to make history and show the world that progressive values can take root in an East Asian society."
This is absurd. The vast majority of the public rejects gay marriage, and yet the government decided to redefine terms rather than listen to the people. I can smell the Chink Trump rising as we speak.
why did they have referendums if they were gonna do whatever they wanted anyways?
lmao, the absolute state of asia

6. (National Referendum Proposition 12) Do you agree to the protection of the rights of same-sex couples in co-habitation on a permanent basis in ways other than changing of the Civil Code? (你是否同意以民法婚姻規定以外之其他形式來保障同性別二人經營永久共同生活的權益?)--Approved they said to protect rights of same-sex couples in other way, and the government did exactly what they said

Bolton was also a member of the neo-conservative, warhawk think tank, “Project for the New American Century,” which was enthusiastically promoting the lie about Saddam Hussein possessing weapons of mass destruction.

Unilaterally reimpose sanctions designed to cripple Iran’s economy, without buy-in from our allies? Check.
