A lesbian couple has become the first to wed in a same-sex Buddhist ceremony in Taiwan; gay rights groups say they hope the island will become the first place in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage.

That's so awesome, thanks for sharing Brunski!


It's a shame their parents didn't turn up 🙁 they missed out on the best day of their respective daughter's lives. Also, it may seem like only a small step in Taiwan, but everytime a same-sex marriage happens, it's spreading awareness and acceptance, which is vital to healing the world and bringing equality, so really, it is a HUGE step.
