In 2003, the executive branch of the Republic of China government (Executive Yuan) proposed legislation granting marriages to same-sex couples under the Human Rights Basic Law; however, it faced opposition among cabinet members and legislators, and has been stalled since and thus not voted on. Currently, Taiwan does not have any recognition of same-sex unions.
A poll of 6,439 Taiwanese adults released in April 2006 by the National Union of Taiwan Women's Association/Constitutional Reform Alliance concluded that 75% believe homosexual relations are acceptable, while 25% thought they were unacceptable.[1]
