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.
— 蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen May 17, 2019 Xiaogang Wei, who heads the Beijing Gender Health Education Institute, called the bill's passing a historic moment, not only for Asia but for the global LGBTQ rights movement."It will have a very positive impact on China's LGBT community, offering us a lot of hope," he told CNN."The Chinese government has pointed to cultural tradition as a reason for same-sex marriage being unsuitable in China.
— Equal Love Taiwan May 17, 2019 In 2017, the court ruled the law violated the constitution. Lawmakers were given a two-year deadline, but reached a deadlock. Taiwan's gay marriage opponents seized the opportunity to put forward a referendum asking voters whether they agreed with same-sex marriage.
I don't think this is what makes human be proud of.
No matter how loudly these USA and japan hybrid dogs bark on the internet in Taiwan. Taiwan will always stay as a part of China. PERIOD!
Hell is being created there, cursed be the lawmakers in Taiwan.

... ' y como en los días de SODOMA Y GOMORRA, así será la venida del Hijo del Hombre'...
Sodom and Gomorrah is today. GODS judgement again awaits mankind.
The marriage of the male is backward and backward, and it was old in the village of Sodom, and their Lord was angry with them and destroyed them, which is great corruption and cutting offspring.

Soon, laws will be passed allowing people to feed through their anus in a restaurant or any public facility, Sitting next to you but you're forbidden to complaint as they have more rights than you. That'll soon be the equality that will herald world peace.
