LGBT couples in Taiwan to celebrate marriage equality with massive banquet

The day after same-sex marriage must be legalised, couples plan to hold a 1,000-person banquet outside the presidential office.

LGBT couples in Taiwan are planning a massive wedding banquet to celebrate marriage equality next month. Same-sex marriage will become legal in Taiwan on 24 May, according to a 2017 Constitutional Court ruling.
