Um, unless Taiwan is not part of “south asia”, they have been allowing non-heterosexual marriage for a well. Recently they are also planning to open Child adoption for non-heterosexual partners, but I did not follow up on how it went.
It’s not the location that’s the issue with Taiwan but the country status thing, with the autonomous mainland provinces refusing to declare independence and everything.
What’s considered South Asia is basically the Indian subcontinent. So India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, The Maldives, and sometimes Afghanistan depending on who you ask.
The Himalayas separate South Asia from what’s broadly considered East Asia, which is what Taiwan is a part of, given its historic ties to China.
If you want to make a conservative Chinese person’s head explode, congratulate them on being the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage. When they look at you confused and say that China didn’t, say, “Oh, I was under the impression that Taiwan was part of China.”

I’d love to know who considers Taiwan as part of South Asia, because it isn’t
I always image south asia just the whole southern part of asia. I guess Taiwan is probably south east Asia according to the typical characterization.
Let me guess, an American?
I am Chinese, but thanks for asking.
