Youth News@PTS: Same-Sex Marriage — Yes or No?

Youth News@PTS is a youth and children’s news programme that caters to its target audience with news content worthy of their attention every week through an atypical TV news broadcasting format. This episode focuses on the efforts of Taiwanese legislators to legalise same-sex marriage. While many look forward to Taiwan becoming the first country in Asia to recognise gay marriage, the move has caused a societal rift between supporters and opposers. Does the conflict of opinion signal that widespread discrimination of homosexuals still exists in society? Or is the country’s gender education still lacking? This episode strives to spur young people into thinking about the meaning of ‘marriage equality’. Through young LGBT people discussing their real-life experiences and the dissecting of various arguments, it is our hope that young people can learn to respect how each person lives their life, thereby eliminating all kinds of discrimination and fear.
