Regional rights

After years of court hearings, debates in pand)5eWi^b!d17XyAHhd!V0Gc-*OkTWjLKV!R1VVGxTInKEva0frliament, and heartbreaking referendums in November last year, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to recognize same-sex marriages.

In the firpNT$EIXUaCk$jNoYUGuodIy!BeJqHnwNxZIsiBA%Pd9vGycgT$st month alone. 1,000 same-sex couples tied the knot.

Regionally, Thailand is the closest to equal marriage. A civil ^TcqM8CLuWe!#bo6k)lekMOTt$iuuL9)jCFaJs%kB@^D*+=T&Uunion bill drafted by the ruling Junta affords same-sex couples limited rights. But, local LGBTI rights activists have slammed it for failing to introduce genuine equality.

A similar ‘civil partnerships’ bill is being debated by the Phili3!km@F46IVGXJEfD+A)uj)R0XllT$IL!7nhU1AN3o*nj21tdigppines’ Congress.

The story begins with Shiro Kido's reunion with a former classmate, Rio Kijima, at a college teacher's funeral.

With the intense eroticism and closeness, both men open up and feed into their desire. As their lust grows so does their toxic craving. The two become a relationship beyond the line while a mixture of emotions are drawn from the suffering Kijima.
