Rainbow Flag Commands AIT Building
The Woke Have Taken AIT Hostage; No Rational Demands Made
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - The Rainbow Flag representing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) now waves above the de facto U.S. Embassy in Taipei, the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT).
Note: the “+” includes people who do not identify as either men or women and includes individuals who are attracted to many genders or to individuals regardless of gender.
Millions of years of Darwinian human evolution has been ignored in favor of the belief that the large intestine was designed for that kind of pounding.
Members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Beijing must be shitting their pants (no pun intended).
I am about 100% sure that when Communist troops hit the island they will check the genitals of all Taiwanese citizens on their death list.
The U.S. State Department is all about policy; the perfect example of hope over experience.
But the rule of law in Taiwan supports the position that will most likely divide the island nation further from traditional codes of conduct. And no doubt make little progress in preparing the 24 million islanders from invasion of a uniform all or nothing mindset.
Taiwan’s Constitutional Court ruled in 2017 that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right, and required that within two years Taiwan’s parliament, the Legislative Yuan, either had to pass a specific law for same-sex marriage or amend the Civil Code to provide for same-sex marriage, and if neither occurred, the Civil Code would simply be reinterpreted to provide for same-sex marriage.
A referendum approved by voters in November 2018 precluded amending the Civil Code to provide for same-sex marriage, and thus, to comply with the Constitutional Court, in May 2019 the Legislative Yuan passed the “Act for Implementation of Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748”, a specific law to provide for same-sex marriage.
This was the result of not just President Tsai Ing-wen’s personal position, but also of the earlier Obama amendments to the U.S. Government’s position on human rights.
Foreign interference in Taiwan society and politics is only slightly tolerated in Taiwan’s conservative society, but the Rainbow Flag above AIT sends a chilling signal that the U.S. Government is pushing an agenda on a largely Confucian Society with strong family values.
Unlike America, Taiwan is not a nihilistic society where God is dead and ancestors are ignored.
Even the Taiwan Foreign Correspondent Club (TFCC) has been commandeered by the Woke. The entire TFCC committee is either gay and/or Woke. This has called into question the notion of objectivity in foreign media coverage of Taiwan.
