LGBT rights in Taiwan
In Taiwan, people are allowed to love and marry whoever they want, regardless of their gender. This means that a man can love another man and they can get married, just like a woman can love another woman and they can also get married.
However, it wasn't always like this. A few years ago, people who were lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) in Taiwan did not have the same legal rights as others. They were not allowed to marry, adopt children, or even change their gender on official documents.
But, in May 2019, the government of Taiwan changed the law to allow same-sex couples to marry, making it the first country in Asia to do so. This means that LGBT people can now have the same rights and protections as heterosexual couples.
This was a huge step forward for LGBT rights in Taiwan, and it shows that everyone should be treated equally, no matter who they love. This inclusive world where everyone is treated equally is called LGBTQ rights. The government of Taiwan has progressed on this topic and is paving the way for other countries to do the same.
