Kevin Tsai supports legalizing gay marriage in Taiwan


Taiwan could become the first Asian state to legalize same-sex and other "pluralistic" forms of marriage if a wide-ranging package of changes to the civil code are approved by the national legislature.

Taiwan is now discussing the gay marriage bill (多元成家), which according to the polls have 53 per cent of the public on this increasingly tolerant island nation. Meanwhile many publicly known figure is also expressing their support for same sex marriage in Taiwan such as Taiwan writer and television host Kevin Tsai (蔡康永).

"I support the gay marriage as I support freedom of speech" said the 51-years old Tsai who is openly gay. During a program hosted by Li Ao in 2002, he has openly acknowledged his sexual orientation while pointing out that there was still much work to be done in Taiwan’s LGBT social movements.

"Won't same sex marriage bring problems? Yes, it will, as freedom of speech bring problems. But you cannot say I am against freedom of speech just because of some trouble it brings" said Tsai.

Taiwan is more tolerant to gays compared to other Asian neighbours. In Taiwan, sexual-orientation education is a part of the primary school curriculum and LGBT individuals enjoy legal protection from hiring discrimination and other forms of prejudice.

Despite this currently same sex marriage is not legal in Taiwan. Back in 25 October 2013, a petition-initiated bill to revise the Civil Code to allow for same-sex couples to be eligible for marriage was introduced by 23 lawmakers from the DPP in the Legislative Yuan. It was immediately referred to the Yuan's Judicial Committee for review and possible first reading.

New Zealand became the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to permit same-sex marriage this year and the Australian Capital Territory approved the measurethis year.

Singles Day (光棍節)


November 11 is an important day for lonely Chinese man : It is the Single's Day or Guanggun Jie (光棍节) where they celebrate their bachelor life. The date, November 11, is closen because it is single (one) quadrupled (1111). There are a lot of young single men in China and their number is increasing thanks to One Child Policy.

Single's Day started in Nanjing University in 1993 and later popularized by the large number of single men on the internet. It is a great opportunity for singles to party with single friends. 11/11/2011 was celebrated as Singles Day of the Century because it had 6 "ones" instead of 4.

Today, Single's Day is becoming as popular and commercialized as Valentine's Day as more people join in the celebration of this holiday. It has become a great opportunity for companies targeting younger consumers, restaurants, Karaoke, and low-price online shopping malls. For example, a Chinese online shopping mall called Taobao sold 19 billion CNY(about 3 billion USD) of their goods on November 11, 2012.

In Greater China (China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) companies offer big discounts for this "special" day as they have discovered that young single man may tend to spend more on this day to forget his so-called "sad" situation (and a man in relationship or marriage would admire this single kings).

No woman, no kids and no family means much more disposable income and companies have discovered this.

In China, November 11 – or 11.11 – is known as Single’s day, a new twist on Valentine’s day on which bachelors celebrate the single life. But rather than going online in pursuit of love, young Chinese consumers now search the web for what money can buy – turning Single’s day into a national day of online retail therapy.

With retailers joining in, by offering steep discounts on everything from infant formula to BMWs, this year’s event looks poised to be the biggest day for online shopping, by value of goods sold, in the world.

17 years old Nini Ou-yang (歐陽妮妮) in Taiwan





17 years old Taiwanese actress Nini Ou-yang (歐陽妮妮) is a trending name in Taiwan. She is considered a budding celebrity because her parents were both famous actors. But she is creating a fame for herself by her talent and cuteness. In October 2013, she performed an incredible gymnastic first pitch.

She was originally scheduled to showcase the move, which she has designed herself, in September but the show was postponed because of the typhoon.

She has caught attention with her face, the figure, the moves and her shining smile (The move was definitely good but nothing close to hot Korean gymnast Shin Soo-ji's incredible acrobatic first pitch back in July 2013 or Korean taekwondoist actress Taemi K Kim's incredible acrobatic first pitch back in August 2013).

But then weirdly, she has became more popular when she has posted about 200 Yuan's she has found in her pocket in late October. Weird because Taiwanes media, as if they have nothing more important thing to do, made this news.

ou can watch her gymnastic first pitch as well as the news about the money in the pocket in the below videos.

Andrew Chiang on bail after Taipei School threat


23 years old Taiwanese man Andrew Chiang, the grandson of Taiwan's late president Chiang Ching-kuo , the son of Chiang Ching-kuo's youngest son Chiang Hsiao-yung and brother of famous Taiwanese businessman Demos Chiang (蔣友青), is facing charges for threatening Taipei American School (TAS) and its administration:
Andrew Chiang, 23, the son of Chiang Ching-kuo's youngest son Chiang Hsiao-yung, may face charges for several comments he allegedly disseminated via Facebook and email since August stating his intention to do harm to the school and especially its administrators. 
Prosecutors questioned him on Friday and tried unsuccessfully to have him detained. Walking out of the court building, a visibly agitated Chiang denied any wrongdoing and accused TAS of exaggerating his messages. 
He said TAS "slandered" him and "blew his words out of proportion" after he got into an argument with the school over a sports injury he sustained while attending TAS. He claimed that his ankle was damaged because someone forced him to play while injured, without identifying the person in the incident which reportedly occurred three years ago.

Taipei American School, located in the upscale Tienmu neighborhood of Taipei, is an independent, coeducational day school for more than 2,000 students of more than 30 nationalities from Pre-K through grade 12.

According to Taiwanese media,  Chiang used his Facebook page and email to threaten to kill staff and students at the school. A former teacher said Chiang is 23 and was expelled from TAS about six years ago after getting into an altercation with a fellow student.

Andrew Chiang said his comments were related to boxing practice.
