(CNA, By Joseph Yeh) According to Bruce Knotts, co-chair of the U.N. NGO Committee on Human Rights, human right issues should never be put to a vote. Knotts made the statement in light of the three referendums against gay rights in Taiwan's recent local elections. According to Knotts, Taiwan's Constitution affords marriage equality to same-sex couples but was opposed by the Protestant Christian churches in Taiwan. <Accessed 2018-12-04>
