The DPP Should Not Blame LGBT Advocates for Their Election Loss

On Nov. 24, Taiwanese voters decided on three referendum questions directly pertaining to the issue of same-sex marriage. They were:

  • Question 10: Do you agree that Civil Code regulations (constitution) should restrict marriage to being between a man and a woman?
  • Question 12: Do you agree to types of unions, other than those stated in the marriage regulations in the Civil Code, to protect the rights of same-sex couples who live together permanently?
  • Question 14: Do you agree that the Civil Code marriage regulations should be used to guarantee the rights of same-sex couples to get married?

Questions 10 and 12 were provided by anti-marriage equality groups. Question 14 was proposed by pro-equality advocates.
