今年五月,大法官給了婚姻平權最遲兩年後生效的時間,但這兩年對許多人而言是相當漫長的。從五月至今,便至少有兩對我認識的同志伴侶其中一人病逝、病危。偏偏就是在這生命的重要關頭,受法律保障的兩人關係更顯得重要。 然而 DPP 為了兩面討好,平權的進程一延再延,在這個大法官都已經幫忙鋪好路的議題,DPP 連收割的能力也沒有,恐怕兩年期限內還會有更多同志伴侶等不到平權。 Taiwan celebrates 15 years of Pride - Taipei Times

‘The DPP does not even have the ability to ‘harvest’ the issue even though the council has paved the way,’ he said.“
