I know that there are many friends who, at this moment, still cannot accept this law and still cannot accept gay marriage. But a week later, when you wake up and open your eyes and find that the sun is still rising, you find that the river is not turning red, you find that there is no hail, you find that the volcano has not erupted, you find that your children still call your father, call Mom.

Please let go of the political parties you support, the members you support, and more importantly, the society we live in together, and let go of yourself.

A week later, the beautiful weekend after 5/25 was my wife's birthday, and it was the best birthday present I could give her. Because we allow Taiwan as a society, both of the same sex and of the opposite sex, to marry together and start their own families. Just now the rain stopped, the sun came out and there was a rainbow. Rainbow should not be only in the sky, rainbow should be in everyone's heart, please hand in hand, we meet together, the heart of the rainbow.

14:24 Legislator Zhong Jiabin: To protect same-sex marriage, but also to protect the rights of children in this marriage

Today, whether on or off the field, or with what kind of position, all we can follow is the constitutional intent of The Chief Justice No. 748, which, on the face of it, regulates the marriage between two adults, but in fact inevitably involves a third person, that is, minor children.

We can rethink from a child's point of view what a new relationship will do to the child. In the past, children were naturally entitled to the right of protection and care of both spouses as long as they were children born out of wedlock. However, in the provisions of section 20, we mostly regard such a relationship as a claim to parental rights, which is closer to the "step-parent adoption" in the civil law of the past and may lead to the child passively waiting for the support of the newly married spouse, and there is no way to naturally enjoy the protection and care of the child by the spouse or the other party.

In other words, if the other spouse does not take the initiative to adopt a child born in this relationship, the child will not receive sufficient care.

Today's legislation is not only to reach consensus between the opposite and the same, but also to protect the rights of children in same-sex marriage. There is still a long way to go and we continue to work hard.

13:03 Legislative Council Member Lin Yuzo: Commissioner Lai, would you ask your young assistant what kind of Taiwan he expects?

I hope that all KMT members will think again and that there will be a cross-party consensus on the value of progress in Taiwan. I know that Lai's own version should not have been written by your office itself. There's a lot of outside lobby groups, looking for people to pick up and carry down.

I also feel that you are very hard, each to help them endorse. I hope that members present can think again. Everyone came up to read the speech, what exactly does your assistant support? But it is clear to all that support for marriage equity is supported by almost all cross-party aides.

You first put your manuscript next to, calmly think about it, pass to your own group of assistants to ask, especially the young. As Commissioner Xu Yuren just said. This is a generational vision of a better future for Taiwan. You ask your young assistant what kind of Taiwan he expects? Is it Taiwan that he was forced to write, or is it Taiwan that is free to marry a lover? You asked him, you want me to keep reading? Or do you want to tell me whether or not to support the marriage of people who love each other, I believe the answer is clear.

Finally, Commissioner Lai, your third-class comrade relatives, when he gets married, we will certainly give blessings, must be happy.
