 In response to the ruling, 22 members of the Yunlin County Council (which has 43 members) filed a motion to impeach Hsu Tzong-li, the President of the Judicial Yuan, and the others judges who ruled in favor of same-sex marriage.The Deputy Speaker, who signed the motion, claimed that "marriages between same-sex couples will have a huge impact on the society and social order" and that the ruling had caused "disappointment and concern".In December 2017, the Taipei Administrative Court ruled that same-sex couples cannot marry until the Civil Code is amended or until 24 May 2019, when the Constitutional Court ruling goes into effect.
