TAIPEI, October 27, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Legislation drawn up by the Taiwanese government would abolish the death penalty but also legalize homosexual marriage and homosexual adoption.  The legislation, jointly drafted by the office of President Chen Shui-bian and the cabinet, is expected to be debated in parliament by December.  A statement form the presidential office indicates that the massive press coverage given to the Canadian homosexual ‘marriage’ ruling and legislation, as well as the pro-sodomy ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court, contributed to the decision to propose the legalization of homosexual ‘marriage’.  “The human rights of homosexuals have been gradually recognised by countries around the world,” said the statement.  See the AFP coverage online:  https://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/54248/1/.html
