LGBT in Taiwan — Aslin Yu-Heng Lin


Legalizing LGBT Relationships in Taiwan

The issue of legalizing gay marriage is extremely controversial in Taiwan. Multiple appeals, all in favor of LGBT rights, have been made to the Supreme Court to reinterpret Taiwan’s constitution.

These 45 symbols represent the existing diverse relationships in Taiwan; some of them include transgender couple, same-gender couple, and same-gender family with children. Through the restructuring of traditional Chinese characters, this project aims to promote LGBT rights within the bounds of traditional Chinese culture.
