According to a report from Agence France Presse, Ting Tse-yen and Guzifer Leong were able to legally get married in Taiwan after suffering pushback from the government.
Although same-sex marriage is legal in the country, a loophole was discovered that prevented a Taiwanese person from marrying a partner that’s from a country where gay marriage is illegal.
Ting is from Taiwan where Leong is from Macau, which currently doesn’t recognize same-sex partnerships. In an effort to fight for their right to marry the two newlyweds challenged the Taiwanese legislation and won the case back in May. “We’ve waited for two years and we finally can get married,” Ting to Barron’s.
