Taipei, Oct. 28 (CNA) The central Taiwan city of Taichung will allow same-sex couples to participate in its biannual mass weddings next year, a city official said Wednesday.

The decision follows a similar one by the local governments of Taoyuan and Taipei, which included gay couples in their mass weddings last week for the first time.

Tsai Shi-yin (蔡世寅), director of the Taichung City Civil Affairs Bureau, said the paperwork could not be completed in time for the inclusion of same-sex couples in the city’s mass weddings this year, but the decision will be implemented next year.     [FULL  STORY]
