Two women became the first military officers to marry their same-sex civilian partners at a mass military wedding in Taiwan on Friday, marking another landmark for LGBTQ+ rights in Asia.

The defence ministry called it an “open and progressive” move and said it gave its blessings to all 188 couples married during the annual mass wedding in Taiwan, considered a beacon of liberalism in the region.

Taiwan last year became the first to legalise same-sex marriage in Asia, a part of the world where homosexuality remains illegal in many countries. But the island remains divided over other related issues such as same-sex parenting, while gay couples are only allowed to marry foreigners from countries where same-sex marriage is also legal.

The Commander of Taiwan Army gave his blessing to the two officers in uniforms, holding rainbow flags, and their civilian wives.

Nothing brave about being gay

good news

The so-called homo marriage law is a political trick, which won’t eliminate the discrimination against gay people nor improve the living quality of them and is not an example to demonstrate the democracy. All rest of Asia agrees.

But then why still try to become husband (male) and wife (female) ?

Promoting same-sex marriage in the U.S. military.

They need no courage to come out in a little island, but absolutely have no gut to face the PLA. Enjoy the last moment of joy.
