A Taiwanese court on Thursday shrank away from ruling on a gay couple’s wish to have their marriage registered, saying it would pass on the controversial case to the island’s top judicial body.
The case has been widely described as a potential “milestone” for gay rights because it could lead to Asia’s first legal same-sex marriage.
