In a landmark first for Asia, Taiwan's Parliament passed a bill legalising same-sex marriage, making it the first place in Asia to do so.
About:
Features of the Bill: The bill would allow same-sex couples to form 'exclusive permanent unions' and would let them apply for a 'marriage registration' with government agencies.
Background: The island's Constitutional Court had ruled in 2017 that same-sex couples had the right to legally marry. The Parliament was given a two-year deadline and was required to pass the changes by May 24.
