Reports state protesters gathered outside the parliament, both for and against a draft bill that would legalize same-sex marriage in Taiwan.

In Taiwan's LGBTQ community, many oppose a special partnership law since it would apply only to gays rather than open up marriage for all, Liu said.
"Having more liberal LGBTQ rights will be a good way not only to benefit the LGBTQ population in Taiwan, but also to just let the world know that Taiwan is a country for social democracy and [has] a lot of the liberal values that progressives in the U.S. also hold," she said.
