Taiwan becomes the first place in Asia to recognise same-sex marriage
After months of anticipation, protests, and campaigns, Taiwan made history on Wednesday as the first country in Asia to recognise same-sex marriage.
The ruling panel, made of 14 judges, has ruled that it is unconstitutional to ban same-sex couples from getting married.
Taiwan's government has two years to implement the ruling, failing which same-sex marriages will be allowed to registered anyway.
People from all across the region took to Twitter in celebration.
1st in ASIA!!! Congratulations Taiwan for winning #MarriageEquality! #LoveWins! Let the proposals begin! #LoveIsLove 🇹🇼👩❤️👩💑👨❤️👨 http://pic.twitter.com/30aV8ZyQ1B
