New analysis suggests that negativity on social media affected the democratic process in Taiwan’s 2018 referendums, shifting votes against a same-sex marriage proposal, Shangpo Hsieh writes.
Back in 2019, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage. In the year following the change, a total of 4,087 same-sex couples had completed marriage registration in Taiwan.
Now, in 2021, 60.4 per cent of survey respondents in Taiwan agree that same-sex couples ‘deserve the right to legal marriage’, a proportion that increased by 15.1 per cent in 2020 and 7.9 per cent in 2021.
Nevertheless, critics still insist that same-sex marriage legalisation ‘contradicts public opinion’, often referring to the 2018 referendum result to support their arguments.
Gay acceptance lower for own children: survey
ON THE RISE: About 52.3 percent of respondents said they would accept that their child was gay, which was up from 49.2 percent in a similar survey from last year
By Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter
Taiwanese are less willing to “accept” that their child is gay than they are to accept learning that a relative or colleague is gay, a survey released yesterday by the Taiwan Equality Campaign found.
The survey, aimed at gauging social attitudes on same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ rights among people aged 18 and older from across the nation, showed that 52.3 percent of respondents said they could accept learning that their child is gay, up from 49.2 percent in a similar survey last year, the LGBT advocacy group said.
