By Lee Hsin-fang and Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Ministry of the Interior yesterday revised its same-sex marriage certificate after the initial version was criticized as discriminatory. However, the first version of the marriage certificate released by the Ministry of the Interior on Wednesday was titled “same-sex marriage certificate.”Critics called the inclusion of term “same-sex” in the document discriminatory. The Executive Yuan yesterday morning reassured the public that the term “same-sex” would not appear on the marriage certificates of same-sex couples. The “same-sex marriage certificate” was only a sample document previously used by the ministry, Executive Yuan spokeswoman Kolas Yotaka said. Su asked government agencies to be prepared for same-sex marriage registrations and to provide the public with any information required.
