摘要：

Austria, like Taiwan, but unlike all the other European countries, opened up marriage to same-gender couples by way of a Constitutional Court's judgment. Different from Taiwan, Austria realized equality also in parenting (second-parent adoption, joint adoption, and automatic co-parenthood) with the Constitutional Court's core argument of the best interests of each individual child. This article presents how Austria, once the first country in the world to repeal the death penalty for homosexual contact and later on one of the last to remove its criminal prosecution, paved the way to full family law equality for same-gender and opposite-gender couples, and elaborates how children's rights turned out to be crucial in this process.
