Hundreds of same-sex couples in Taiwan rush to the household registration office on the first day a landmark decision to legalize same-sex marriage takes effect.

Two same-sex couples seal their legal marriage with a kiss at the registration office in Xingyi District in Taipei, Taiwan, Friday, May 24, 2019. Hundreds of same-sex couples in Taiwan are rushing to the household registration office on the first day that a landmark decision to legalize same-sex marriage has taken effect.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Hundreds of same-sex couples in Taiwan are rushing to get married on the first day a landmark decision to legalize same-sex marriage takes effect. One household registration office in Taipei was packed Friday as couples seized the earliest opportunity to tie the knot. Taiwan became the first place in Asia to allow same-sex marriage last week in a legislative vote on a cause that LGBT rights activists on the island have championed for two decades.

A Taipei resident who identified himself only by a nickname said he and his partner feel lucky that they are able to tell everyone that they have gotten married.AP NEWS

And we fall deeper into the abyss! Disgusting!

🏳️‍🌈👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🇹🇼

Next step: legalisation of pedophila, why? Because 'people' want it... Great job 'humanity'!

Sodomites need to repent!

Tanda tanda kiamat telah muncul terang benderang..

ودول قوم لوط الشواذ

You gotta be careful before you Tie one on nowadays.

So much homophobic comments on this tweet

・・・・・・・・・ 学校で教えてるのと違うじゃねーか

Good for them just glad my pops or moms weren't gay or I wouldnt be here to even type this

Extintion

Gila

WTF

Disgusting

Perhaps gay marriages can be an effective means to solving the overpopulation and abortion (aka child murdering) problems on earth.

Who's the 'husband' and who's the 'wife'?

Awww! I’m happy for them! Yessss!

Jesus! God forgive us,even animals that we were given dominion over know better..

abomination

Disgusting.

Well. For the first time same sex couples in that country will find out that people nowadays don't get married. They just live together.

🙌🙌🙌

نستجير بالله من غضب الله حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل ولاحول ولاقوة الابالله العلي العظيم .

In about 100 years, i.e. year 2119, 'love marriages' with animals will be allowed. Resulting kids: half human-half animals.

And so guys, reading today, I see that all the 'main' newspapers told about this 'news'! And I understand that this is the only achievement of your fucking democracy - same-sex marriages! Your task is to destroy humanity?

The disease is spreading, and to our great misfortunes. Traditionalists of yesteryear hit the mark with their slippery-slope predictions. It's astonishing how quickly we've gone from 'Adam and Steve' to 'Gender-bent man crushes woman's face in the octagon.'

Happy endings!

Globohomo wants you to see every racial type of gay couple...

Congrats to Taiwan! Lovewins

Good for them, everyone should be allowed to be happy. The government or laws should not dictate trivial things like, who the person you love is.

oh my god think about all of those gay wedding cakes that have to be baked

Lol gay

'bout the only time I think I'd like to see wife-swapping at parties.
