After more than three decades together, Wang Tien-ming and Ho Hsiang finally decided to tie the knot when Taiwan's top court ruled last year that same-sex marriage must be legalised. But those wedding plans are on hold after conservative groups won a referendum battle over equal marriage which couples fear could water down their newly won rights.
Cities across Germany witnessed the first same-sex marriage ceremonies, after a new equal marriage law came into effect on Sunday. Wedding registration centers were swamped with requests from long-standing and brand new same sex couples looking to tie the knot officially for the first time or to upgrade from a registered civil partnership to a fully fledged marriage. The new law gives the full rights of marriage to same-sex couples, including the right to adopt children.

Pope Francis officially declared support for civil unions for same-sex couples for the first time. The Pope made the groundbreaking remarks in a documentary film that was released on Wednesday. Pope Francis said: "Homosexual people have a right to be in a family. Nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable over it". He went on to say: "What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered". The Pope has suggested in the past that he is not against civil unions, but this is the first time he has directly come out in favor of them. The documentary, "Francesco" was released Wednesday in Rome.
