Homosexuality in China - Taiwanese Homosexual History
Taiwan is an immigrant society. In the 17th century, while the Chinese people immigrated into Taiwan, the Qing government had a strict limit that relatively few females may tide over the Taiwan Strait to Taiwan Island. This limitation resulted in a sexual imbalance in the society of Taiwan then. People who engaged in same-sex relations were referred to as "Luo Han Jiao"(羅漢腳).
Homosexuality in China - Recent Taiwanese Homosexual News/Events
- At the end of October 2003, the government of the Republic of China announced plans to legalize same-sex marriage, which would make Taiwan the first place in Asia permitting it. However, legalization oe is only a plan. There is no schedule for the legalization.
- On November 1, 2003 the first gay pride parade in the Chinese region was held in Taipei, with over 1,000 people attending [7], and the mayor of Taipei, Ma Ying-jeou also attended this parade. Still, many participants wore masks to hide their identities because homosexuality remains a taboo in Taiwan.
- On January 17, 2004 Taipei police arrested 93 gay people because of their attendance at an orgy party with drugs. Many were shocked that nearly one-third of the attendees were HIV positive. These arrests caused severe condemnation from the tongzhi community. This event is called "HOMEPA(Home Party) Event" by the Taiwanese gay community now.
