  • The Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) and the Gongchandang (Communist Party of China) have always had a love-hate relationship. They have fought alongside each other and against each other throughout the 20th Century. I think the CPC prefers them because the Kuomintang affirms that Taiwan is a part of China, even though they also claim that Taipei’s government is the sovereign government over all China. They’re the ones who made the whole ceasefire “one China” deal with them, and the ruling Minjindang (Democratic Progressive Party) take a separatist stance.

    China turns Taiwan’s own voices against it in information war

    I don’t know if this is even a fair headline - considering the Kuomintang are anti-separatist



  • In Northern Ireland, the Asher’s bakery case was quite influential. In short - a gay man requests a Christian bakery (Asher’s Bakery) to bake him a cake which is emblazoned quite literally with the words “support gay marriage” - the bakery refuses and refunds, gay man sues them for “homphobia”, half a million pound later and the Supreme Court of The United Kingdom gets involved and rules in Asher’s favour. Shortly after, same-sex marriage is legalised in the province (although by Westminster). I think that whole case which ensued for nearly half a decade essentially removed the Christian Majority’s ease of “it won’t affect us”.

    Now nobody really cares too much anyway about it, Churches aren’t obligated and generally don’t carry out such ceremonies, barring some fringe groups
