Taiwan is the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage, and such progress towards a more inclusive society would not have come to fruition without the endeavor of Taiwanese people as a whole. After the announcement of constitutional interpretation No.748 in 2017, Taiwan’s parliament was given the task to legislate for same-sex marriage within 2 years, which the Tsai Ing-wen administration mobilized all the resources possible to make happen. The political gamble was met with severe pushbacks, yet eventually set a milestone for human rights in Taiwan. As the first female leader in Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen faced distrust and doubts regarding her capability based on gender throughout her political career. With extreme poise and confidence, President Tsai demonstrated her finesse in the largely male-dominated political landscape and military sector.
