BBC Taiwan gay marriage: Parliament legalises same-sex unions 17 May 2019

　流石にmarriageの名までは取れなかったか。

「Taiwan's parliament has become the first in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage following a vote on Friday.」

「The two other bills, submitted by conservative lawmakers, refer to partnerships as "same-sex family relationships" or "same-sex unions" rather than "marriages".」

「But the government's bill, also the only one to offer limited adoption rights, was passed by 66 to 27 votes - backed by lawmakers from the majority Democratic Progressive Party.」

「As a result, Taiwan said it would not alter its existing definition of marriage in civil law, and instead would enact a special law for same-sex marriage.」

　まあそれでよろしいのでは、とは。
「私が欲しいタイトルが得られるまで私は勝利したはずがない」なんて観念に囚われるのはそもそも良くないし、妥協の産物としての政治の現場においては少数派の絶滅によっておわる闘争になりかねないし。

「While same-sex marriage is still illegal in China, homosexuality was decriminalised in the country in 1997, and officially removed from its list of mental illnesses three years later.」

　とまあ、共産圏ではちょっと前まで、LGBTの類は犯罪扱い・精神病扱いだったこと、運動界隈では常識としておいていいとおもうのだ。
