Current Events: Taiwan Legalizes Gay Marriage
Taiwan has been the first Asian Country and the Second country in the Asia-Pacific region to legalize gay marriage. Chi Chia-wei has been an LGBT activist for decades and even spent time in prison when he came out. His suit was analyzed by the court and they decided that banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
This goes to show that activism and nonviolent protests and spreading awareness can really make a difference in your community. Hopefully Taiwan legalizing gay marriage is a step towards Asia and other places becoming more accepting so people have the right to live the lives they are supposed to.
