EDITORIAL: Marriage draft still excludes some
More than 600 days after Taiwan’s landmark legalization of same-sex marriage, the government is finally addressing a longstanding issue: transnational marriages. Taiwanese still cannot legally marry a same-sex partner from a country where same-sex marriage is not recognized. There are only 29 countries that recognize such unions, making the provision still rather restrictive, and Taiwan is reportedly the only one that has such measures.
The issue has been repeatedly brought up by LGBTQ groups before and after same-sex marriage was legalized, and it continues to cast a shadow on LGBTQ and human rights in Asia. Countless couples have featured in articles about how one partner is struggling to stay in Taiwan. The Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights (TAPCPR) says there are more than 300 such couples.
