Gay family rights should be protected: justice ministry

 Taipei, Nov. 19 (CNA) The rights of gay and lesbian couples to create families should be protected, the Ministry of Justice said Tuesday, adding that studies on public attitudes toward same-sex marriage will be completed by the end of this month. The ministry commissioned the studies to gauge public attitudes and solicit expert opinions on issues related to legalizing same-sex marriage, said Chiu Mei-yu, head of the ministry's Department of Legal Affairs, at a public hearing on same-sex marriage. The hearing, held by opposition Democratic Progressive Party lawmakers Cheng Li-chiun and Yu Mei-nu, saw officials from related government agencies and representatives from civil and religious groups express their views on the controversial issue. Chiu said that her ministry will also continue to hold seminars to solicit public opinions. The Judicial Yuan, however, held a more conservative attitude on the issue, calling for more consideration before making legal changes. Chen Chih-hung, from the Taiwan Lutheran Church, said same-sex marriage does not fit in Taiwan's culture. Noting that countries where gay marriage is legal have a higher rate of children born out of wedlock, he said Taiwan's statistics show the importance put on marriage locally. Several Taiwanese actors, singers and writers, however, came out in support of same-sex marriage, said musician Jutoupi, who argued that everyone should have the right to marry someone he or she loves. Tseng Pin-chieh, a professor at National Chung Cheng University's Department of Financial and Economic Law, suggested a referendum on legalizing same-sex marriage, as there is no clear public consensus on the issue. Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights said they oppose a referendum on the issue because it is not appropriate to hold referendums on issues involving limitations of rights for minority people in society.

Younger generation can do better than throwing shoes (The China Post)

On Nov. 13, right after Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) watched the documentary “Beyond Beauty — Taiwan From Above” with local reporters and students, one student threw two slippers in the direction of the premier and documentary director Chi Bo-lin (齊柏林) when the two were delivering their thoughts on the film. “Premier Jiang and his men do not care about our land, Taiwan!” the student shouted, giving way to a volley of loud protests in the cinema. Protesters vying for government attention had slipped into the theater, wielding signs and banners, shouting for Jiang to take notice of the fate of former Hualong factory workers.

Similar shoe-throwing incidents actually happened to Miaoli Magistrate Liu Cheng-hung (劉政鴻) and President Ma Ying-jeou in recent months.

Shoe-throwing seems to have become a way for students to demonstrate their anger and garner media attention. However, this might not be the best way to get the public to hear one's voice or to make improvements to issues that require attention, not to mention the potential dangers that shoe-throwing could bring to the people.
