台灣與美國之間只是「同性伴侶專法」的關係
儘管擁有相同的自由主張,美國仍將台灣歸類在「沒有官方認證」的關係之中。給予台灣一切的往來利益,卻不願稱之為邦交。這對同志朋友來說,應該是再熟悉不過的事吧!

The United States effectively gives Taiwan all the benefits of a relationship while denying Taiwan the dignity of being treated like everyone else. Some tout this as ingenious diplomacy. I call this discrimination.
這次在台灣,同志婚姻合法化成功的機率似乎比前幾次都還高。但同時擁有傳統價值與新觀念的台灣社會,也藏有其矛盾之處。
Taiwan’s society has also seen a great deal of foreign influence, conflict and change. The timing for women’s rights, gender rights and sexual orientation seems ripe for Taiwan to recognize marriage equality.
