台湾地区领导人马英九在担任台北市市长期间,还曾主持过几场同性恋集体婚礼。这在1997年以前根本难以想象,那时候,同性恋男子想进入台北的某些地方还需要接受身份证检查。
But Taiwan falls short, activists say, when it comes to taking what many regards as the most important step in protecting gay rights: legalizing same-sex marriage.
但活动人士称,台湾还有做得不足之处,没有采取在很多人看来对保护同性恋权利最重要的一步:促成同性恋婚姻的合法化。
'Public awareness and acceptance of homosexual community is rising, but the fight for legalization of for same-sex marriage remains an uphill battle,' said Kuan Yu, a staff member at the Taiwan Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Family Rights Advocacy, the group that helped organized the wedding.
台湾同志家庭权益促进会(Taiwan LGBT Family Rights Advocacy)的工作人员Kuan Yu表示,“现在公众对同性恋人群的认识和接受度都在不断提升,但为同性恋婚姻争取合法化的努力仍然困难重重。”该促进会帮助组织了黄美瑜和游雅婷的婚礼。
Despite Mr. Ma's past a gay rights advocate, the president's party, the Kuomintang (or Nationalist Party), has shied away from pushing the legalization of gay marriage.
虽然马英九认可了一项同性恋权利倡议,但他所在的执政党国民党仍不愿推动同性恋婚姻的相关立法。
