    From the BBC:
    Taiwan's top court rules in favour of same-sex marriage - BBC News

    Taiwan's top judges have ruled in favour of gay marriage, paving the way for it to become the first place in Asia to legalise same-sex unions.

    The highest court ruled that current laws preventing members of the same sex from marrying violated their right to equality and were unconstitutional.

    It gave parliament two years to amend existing laws or pass new ones.

    It's never easy to be the first of the bunch, but perhaps later neighboring countries will realize how harmless this is and follow through as well.

    It is quite nice to see something positive with everything going amiss as of late.

    Nice job Taiwan. Let's hope the other Asian countries follow its example.
