Supporting Amendments for Same-Sex Marriage to Protect Constitutional Rights to Equality ~ A Statement by the Judicial Reform Foundation
Last edited: 2026-07-27
The Judicial Reform Foundation believes that all rights and obligations pertaining to marriage and family should apply equally to all genders and sexual orientations (LGBTQ) who are willing to enter into them. The law should not practice systemic differential treatment; otherwise, it constitutes a violation of the constitutional guarantee of the right to equality. The Foundation supports amending outdated laws to realize the constitutional intent of guaranteeing marriage equality.
Differences of opinion among our members regarding specific legislative amendment methods are normal in a democratic and pluralistic society. The Foundation respects the differing views of its internal members and looks forward to Taiwanese society discussing bills based on facts and evidence, taking into account all perspectives, building consensus at an early date, and establishing a comprehensive legal system to guarantee marriage equality.
