Taiwan Holds World’s First Lesbian Buddhist Wedding

Just Married!

The Taiwanese CGI news coverage of the gay pride Oreo is no longer the gayest thing to come out of the Asian nation. What broke the streak?

Five words, y’all: First Lesbian Buddhist Wedding Ever.

The two women married in the weekend ceremony, Huang Mei-yu and Yu Ya-ting, have been together for seven years, and were happily joined by a female Buddhist master and activist, Shih Chao-hui, to little fanfare.

“I think this is their human right. They can choose freely to get married and we should respect them,” said Chih Chun, a Buddhist nun who attended the ceremony, to the Jakarta Globe. “It makes no difference if couples are heterosexual or homosexual, as long as they are in love and they are happy.”

It’s milestone Taiwanese lesbian Buddhist weddings like this that make me scrunch up my face about the adjectiveless snoozefest my future boring gay wedding will. At least we love each other, I guess.

Err…

Some girls have all the fun!

Congratulations to the beautiful couple. Make it last!
