A government survey revealed that 62.6% of the Taiwanese population believed that same-sex couples should have the right to marry legally, representing a significant rise of 25.2% since 2018 prior to the legalization of same-sex marriage, according to a statement by the Executive Yuan, the executive branch of Taiwan’s government.
Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage on May 24, 2019, following the enactment of the Act for Implementation of Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748. Last week, the legislature approved an amendment to the special law, permitting same-sex couples to jointly adopt children to whom neither spouse is related.
