TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Pop diva Jolin Tsai will lead up to a hundred entertainers and stars in a recorded message at Saturday’s music festival to support same-sex marriage, reports said.

After the opponents of gay marriage last Saturday, the supporters of legalization are due to take over Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Office Building in Taipei Saturday.

The sudden intensifying of events for and against is a result of the Legislative Yuan’s plans to review several proposals on December 26. Taiwan has often been described as the Asian country most likely to be the first to introduce same-sex marriage.

Dozens of popular singers, including Denise Ho from Hong Kong, Sandee Chan, Freya Lim and Ailing Tai, are scheduled to appear on stage and sing to the crowds, which could number up to 100,000, according to organizers.    [FULL  STORY]
