🌈LGBT Life In Taiwan

Taiwan is an LGBTQ oasis in the large and vast continent of Asia. It is the first (and currently the only) country in Asia to have legalized same-sex marriage, and same sex couples have almost all the rights of heterosexual married couples. In the last 20 years, the gay community has reached great achievements in the field of legislation, ensuring equality in employment and education. Although it seems Taiwan is moving toward full acceptance of the GLBTQ lifestyle, it still has a long way to go. This episode explores LGBTQ life in Taiwan and features an interview with Sean Sih-Cheng Du, the Director of Taiwan's LGBTQ Hotline (Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline Association), the first formal LGBT organization in the country, and one of the major players in its GLBTQ scene.
