Taiwan: Massive rally in support of marriage equality
Hundred thousands participate in a music festival to support “marriage equality” on December 10 2016, International Human Rights Day.
The music festival on Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Office was one of the biggest gay rights events in Taiwan.
The event, coinciding with Human Rights Day, came amid pressure from some civic groups seeking to push the government on legalization the bill for same-sex marriage.
The organizers invited local and foreign pop music stars including Taiwanese singers Suming Rupi, Dai Ailing. Philippine pop chanteuse Sandee Chan and Hong Kong Canto-pop singer Denise Ho.
Taiwanese lawmakers are currently working on three bills in support of marriage equality, one of which is already listed for review and might be passed within months. Same-sex marriage also has the prominent support of President Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan’s first female president of the Formosa island.
The anti- “marriage equality” camp last Saturday held demonstrations in Northern, Central and Southern Taiwan to protest the same-sex marriage bills, arguing that the draft amendments to the Civil Code were contrary to traditional family values.
