Tong-Kwang Light House Presbyterian Church

Tong-Kwang Light House Presbyterian Church (Chinese: 同光同志長老教會; pinyin: Tóngguāng Tóngzhì Zhǎnglǎo Jiàohuì) is the first Christian Church for Homosexuals in Chinese society. It is located in Taipei, Taiwan, and does not believe homosexuality to be a sin (see Homosexuality and Christianity). It was established on May 5, 1996.

Although the church has a system of Presbyterianism, it is independent from the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan.

The church also works with Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline Association, and attends Taiwan Pride.

The founder of this church, Ya-hui Yang (楊雅惠牧師) committed suicide on May 21, 2008.[1]
