TAOYUAN: Two lesbian couples tied the knot in a mass wedding held by Taiwan's military on Friday (Oct 30) in a historic celebration with their peers.
Taiwan is the only place in Asia to have legalised same-s.ex marriage, with more than 4,000 such couples marrying since the legislation passed in May 2019. The mass wedding with 188 couples was the first time same-s.ex couples have been wed and celebrated at a military ceremony.
Both couples viewed their ceremonies with a sense of responsibility towards representing the LGBT community.

“We are hoping that more LGBT people in the military can bravely stand up, because our military is very open-minded. In matters of love, everyone will be treated equally,” said Chen Ying-hsuan, 27, an army lieutenant who married Li Li-chen, 26.
