It is now a crucial time for the LGBTQ community in Taiwan since, as a pioneer for marriage equality, Taiwan may become the first country to legalize same-sex marriage in Asia. I changed LGBTQ "group" to LGBTQ "communities" for the purpose of consistency throughout the document. --> Changed the support particle to "in" as it is grammatically correct this way. Further, "Demanding Taiwanese government..." should read: "demanding that the Taiwanese government legalizes same-sex marriage..." (again, this would be grammatically correct). - Taiwanese has been advocating for marriage equality for decades. In 2005, legislator Hsiao Bi-Khim first introduced the same-sex marriage bill. Through the 2016 presidential election, people elected the candidate of Democratic Progress Party (DPP), Tsai Ing-wen, as the president, who clearly promised to advocate for LGBTQ rights and the legislation of same-sex marriage during her campaign. After the election, we held the largest LGBTQ Pride parade in Asia this October, and same-sex marriage has become a bipartisan sense of congress. As a result, the two largest parties in Parliament, the DPP and the KMT, along with the third largest party, the NPP, have introduced the bill to amend the Civil Code, aiming for legalizing same-sex marriage. + Taiwanese has been advocating for marriage equality for decades.

I do not understand what is meant. Does it mean that it is a polarizing issue? - However, after the bills were introduced, a few anti-LGBTQ religious groups have begun protesting against the legislation. They spread hatred, fears, lies, and rumors against LGBTQ communities, who are only seeking equality and basic human rights. These anti-LGBTQ religious groups have also requested a referendum in an attempt to stall the amendment process. Unfortunately, the Tsai Government has started to hesitate; they may opt for a "separate but equal" civil union law, which was a painful road in the U.S. history with the policy of apartheid. That is why nearly 2 ,000oTaiwanese took to the street protesting n a11/28/2016, working Monday morning,. The Taiwanese are yearning for real equality, not a sugar-coated law that perpetuates discrimination. + However, after the bills were introduced, a few anti-LGBTQ religious groups have begun protesting against the legislation. They spread hatred, fears, lies, and rumors against LGBTQ communities, who are only seeking equality and basic human rights. These anti-LGBTQ religious groups have also initiated lobbies in an attempt to stall the amendment process. Unfortunately, the Tsai Government has started to hesitate; they may opt for a "separate but equal" civil union law, which was a painful road in the U.S. history with the policy of apartheid. That is why nearly 2 ,000oTaiwanese took to the street protesting n a11/28/2016, working Monday morning,. The Taiwanese are yearning for real equality, not a sugar-coated law that perpetuates discrimination. I'm not exactly sure what "a painful road for the US with the policy of apartheid" alludes to. Do you mean the history of racial segregation? Since it's in the past, it would be better to frame it as "in the US history." I agree with the above comment that apartheid has no place here as it belongs to South African history. Further it is a racial problem, not a sexual orientation problem... I would recommend to use an argument that supports the case against civil union law and not use a historical example. For example: "Marriage (vs. a civil union) brings with it clarity in communication to all others about the status of the couple, and furthermore protects their dignity based on equality with all other human beings that enjoy this right. Moreover, a marriage (vs. a civil union) affords portability, meaning that citizens' marriage is recognized beyond the borders of their own State and ensures they will not encounter problems with recognition or desire to separate, affords more legal and financial benefits than a civil union, provides broader access to public benefits, allows spouses to make decisions for each other when necessary and provides clarity to state documents in which you must identify yourself as a member of a family unit." (something like that can be effective.. please feel free to make shorter or delete as you wish..) I suggest changing the last section of the last sentence from "a sugar-coated law that carries discrimination." to "a sugar-coated law that is inherently discriminating." since we are referring to the problematic nature of it being separate but equal: * "against the LGBTQ community" would be better than plural (communities). + I suggest taking away the referendum part, as it is not obvious that the referendum law in Taiwan is too strict to truely represent public opinion. - (As a bisexual Taiwanese-American myself, ) I hereby seek your and [機構名]support earnestly.

Taiwan is on the edge of achieving marriage equality, with bipartisan support. 2. With Taiwan's vibrant democracy, this step toward marriage equality has a symbolic significance in Asia. As a pioneer, Taiwan can show the world that marriage equality is possible in Asia. - 3.

The Taiwanese government may opt for a "separate but equal" civil union law, but the [機構名] should remind Taiwan that separation is inherently discriminating. 4.

This is why the [機構名] 's direct and firm support for human rights is needed to help eradicate the social injustice experienced by members of the LGBTQ communities in Taiwan. We ask that you join us in solidarity to help achieve legal protections for Taiwanese same-sex couples' right to marriage equality. （1 行未修改） Further, I would keep the US painful road out of there... - A number of Taiwanese and I will be gathering in front of the Supreme Court to support same-sex marriage in Taiwan this Wednesday (Nov. 30th) at noon. Supreme Court is such a meaningful place for marriage equality in the US. We thus hope to convey the spirit to the Taiwanese legislators and activists who are still fighting for marriage equality. We would really appreciate it if you and your friends at the HRC could come to support us in front of the Supreme Court this Wednesday, the 3,th at noon.a + Starting with a press conference in Washington DC, participants more than 20 cities in the the UK, Germany, the US, Canada, Australia, and Japan (See attachment for detail) are gathering in the next two weeks to support the amendment of the Civil Code. We hope to convey our support to the Taiwanese LGBTQ community as well as legislators and activists who are still fighting for marriage equality. If possible, we would also greatly appreciate the attendance of you and your friends at the [機構名] at one of our gatherings. [或換成當地自己的活動] a nk you so verych for your pattime and consideration.

In 2005, legislator Hsiao Bi-khim first introduced the same sex marriage bill. During the 2016 presidential election in Taiwan, people elected the candidate of Democratic Progress Party(DPP)- Tsai Ing-wen as the president, who clearly claimed to improve rights for LGBTQ and marriage equality during her campaign. After the election, we had the largest LGBTQ Pride in Asia, and same-sex marriage has become a bipartisan sense of congress. Both DPP and KMT-the two largest party in Taiwan -and NPP -the third largest party in congress- has introduced the bill to amend civil code, aim to legalize same-sex marriage. + However, after the bills were introduced, a few anti-LGBTQ religious groups started to protest against them. They spread hatred, fears, lies and rumors against LGBT group who only seeks for equality and basic human rights. They also request a referendum - trying to procrastinate the process of amendment. Unfortunately, the Tsai government started to hesitated- they may opt for a "separate but equal" civil union law, which was a painful road for US with the policy of apartheid. Thats why nearly 2 ,000oTaiwanese were on the street protesting n a working Monday morning,. Taiwanese are yearning for the real equality, not a sugar-coded discrimination lies behind the separate law. + + As a bisexual Taiwanese-American myself, I hereby seek for you and Human Right Campaign's support earnestly. For HRC has done tremendous work for LGBTQ , and has been a indicative organization for the world, your support would mean the world to us and the LGBTQ in Taiwan . We hope HRC would Issue a public letter to urge President and Premier of Taiwan to ensure amendment to Civil Code passes. + + Again, following are the statements on why an organization like HRC could support Taiwan for same-sex marriage: + 1. Taiwan is on the edge of marriage equality, with bipartisan support. + 2. With Taiwan's vibrant democracy and this step toward marriage equality, it will have a important symbolic significance in Asia. As a pioneer, Taiwan can show the world that in Aisia,marriage equality is still possible. + 3. Taiwanese government may opt for a "separate but equal" civil union law, but the HRC should remind Taiwan what a painful road that had been for the US. + 4. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and that is why the HRC is compelled to speak up in support for human rights in Taiwan. + + + A few Taiwanese and I are gathering in front of the supreme court to support same-sex marriage in Taiwan on this Wednesday noon, for Supreme Court is such a inspiring place for marriage equality in the US. We hope to convey the spirit to the Taiwanese legislator and activists who are still fighting for marriage equality. If you and friends from HRC are willing to come to support us, we are more than welcome. + Thank you so much for your patience. Hope to hear from you soon. + + + + + *今年同志大遊行為亞洲規模最大、支持同性婚姻民調> （14 行未修改）
