Waving rainbow flags and shedding tears of joy, two Taiwanese same-sex couples tie the knot at a mass wedding hosted by the military in a landmark for Asia's LGBT community.
Two straight friends named Michael O'Sullivan and Matt Murphy married each other in Dublin last week to avoid paying an inherence tax on the latter's property . The grooms have been friends for almost 30 years, and Michael is now Matt's carer. Matt doesn't have any next of kin, and wanted to hand down his house to Michael without paying any penalties.
Same-sex couples hurry to declare plans to tie the knot as Australia's new marriage equality law came into effect, with wedding registry offices holding special hours for the first day of legalised gay unions.
France's first legal gay marriage is celebrated this week, as a male couple tie the knot in Montpellier - just a few days after a mass protest in Paris against gay marriage turned violent. Also, the French government considers a ban on electronic cigarettes. Finally, French singer Georges Moustaki is laid to rest in Paris.
As Taiwan celebrated its one-year anniversary of becoming Asia's first country to legalize same-sex marriages, an LGBT rights group is proposing an amendment that would give all international union couples the same legal rights regardless of their home country. Taiwan's current gay marriage law bars couples from marrying if their foreign partner is from a country which does not recognise same-sex unions.
