Huang said the couple hoped that a wedding blessed by a Buddhist master would encourage more Taiwanese, 80 percent of whom are Buddhist, to support same-sex marriage. ""I remember when I told my parents that we would get married, their first question was, 'Is this legal?'"" Huang said. ""I could only say to them that it would soon, but I didn't know when would be considered soon. So we hope it will become legal."" [buzzfeed]"
