Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Yes, Taiwan has made huge steps forward to allow transnational same-sex marriage. However, this still doesn’t apply to citizens from mainland China (except Hong Kong and Macau) but it is already a significant leap in Asia.
Whats your source on the mainland? Taiwan and China recognize all documents from each other, including citizenship. Taiwanese can travel to the mainland freely. You can register a valid marriage in Taiwan in China as well. I got that off of some random legal site on baidu, can confirm it later if you want.
The reason is both recognize the one China principle.
I read it from a Taiwanese commentary
Generally speaking, the law for cross-strait marriage (between a mainland Chinese and a Taiwanese, regardless of same sex marriage or not) requires that the couple to wed in mainland China first, and only then can they register in Taiwan. Because PRC currently does not recognize same sex marriage, such arrangement is not possible at the moment.
I’m not sure how well the machine translation works but do give the article a read, it’s a short commentary about the future of LGBT legalization in Taiwan.
I do hope that changes soon.
