Taiwan gay couples plan weddings even as opponents fight back“I am very moved that people around the world are joining us,” the 31-year-old said. In the last decade, Taiwan has become increasingly progressive on gay rights with Taipei home to a thriving LGBT community and increasingly large pride marches. Taiwan’s Constitutional Court made a landmark ruling in 2017 to legalise gay marriage and ruled its decision must be implemented within two years. Taiwan’s gay marriage law still contains restrictions not faced by heterosexual couples. Same-sex couples can currently only adopt their partners’ biological children and can only wed foreigners from countries where gay marriage is also recognised.
