Taiwan's Council of Grand Justices (大法官) ruled that the current civil law banning same sex marriage is unconstitutional and that the legislature has two years to either amend the law or create a new law.

Legislation enforcing the court's ruling is already working its way through the legislature, where both the ruling and major opposition parties support legalisation as do a majority of Taiwanese people and President Tsai Ing-wen.

A large percentage of the public in Taiwan has accepted the idea of same-sex marriage because leaders have elevated liberal social causes to show the island's democratic credentials in the face of China, a political rival that restricts free speech and association.

But the debate has prompted a backlash, with mass protests by conservatives in recent months.

        From what my straight friends tell me, most guys have no idea how to use those, and a good deal of them don't even care to. I'd kind of hope the situation had gotten better over time in that regard but apparently not.

        There are times I seriously wonder how the hell there are 7 and a half billion of us.
