With the passage of the Act for Implementation of J.Y. Interpretation No. 748 in May 2019, Taiwan has become the first Asian country to legalize same-sex spousal rights. Many activists in other parts of East Asia have considered this legal breakthrough a sign of hope that their countries might soon follow suit. After nearly three years since the legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan, the UCLA Asia Pacific Center will convene a panel of scholars and gay rights activists to review the recent development of gay rights in East Asia.
