About 60 lesbian couples have decided they're gonna celebrate New York's decision to legalize same-sex marriage with a mass wedding, later this month. They're not really concerned with the fact that same-sex marriage is illegal in Taiwan, and they're pretty confident that the government will leave them alone.

"We are celebrating the recent legalization of gay marriage in New York and we hope that Taiwan will make the same move in the near future," event organizer AJ Wang said. "We also want the public to see that so many gay couples are committed to each other and they deserve to be recognised and treated fairly."

In 2003, the cabinet drafted a bill to legalize same-sex marriage and allow LGBT couples to adopt in Taiwan but it's been years, and it's going nowhere. Taiwan's government was the first country in Asia to promise to do so, but the bill still hasn't even been reviewed by parliament. President Ma Ying-jeou says he'd love to see the bill passed, but the public is not too keen on the idea.

Good luck, Taiwan. Here's looking at you, kid.
