After nearly five months of marriage, Gabriel Lin, a 34-year-old scientist who lives in Taoyuan with his husband, shares a number of small, yet significant changes to their life.
In May, he and his husband became one of the first couples in Asia to legally wed and proudly updated their Facebook profiles to reflect their married status. Lin also explained how his mother-in-law once feared her son might have to face a future alone because of his sexuality. Now that he is legally married, her fears are put aside.
On October 26, Lin will join the hundreds of thousands expected to march in Taipei pride and celebrate Taiwan’s victory in becoming the first Asian country to recognize same-sex marriage earlier this year.
