The act will amend the civil law and do away with the mention of gender in the context of any union between two people. It will change the idea of what is a family. The idea of "partnership" means that any two people willing to enter a union and form a family can apply for legal recognition.
If passed, Taiwan will be the first Asian nation to recognise same sex marriage! Only recently, the government published a guidebook on arranging funeral affairs which informs family and funeral homes to take into account same sex couples and those who are not legally married but are cohabiting.
Proud of my birth-country!
