While I'm not in favour of this decision, the only reason why this happened is because Taiwan is a legitimate democracy.
I think we could do with a little more legitimate democracy in Asia, not less.
While this decision was made by judicial process rather than democratic process, if there were a referendum in Taiwan to legalise gay marriage I think there is a good chance it would pass.
Yes, that's true, but a third pillar judicial system that balances pure democratic processes (like to lions and a lamb deciding who to eat for dinner) is a perfectly democratic institution.
