2019-10-28 3:49 發布

On October 26th, more than 200,000 people dressed in rainbow took to the streets of Taipei to celebrate the Pride Parade with the theme "Tong Zhi Hao Cuo Bian" (meaning "LGBTQ+ is our good neighbor" in southern Fujian).

Just in May, local legislators made the unprecedented decision to legalize same-sex marriage, making Taiwan the first place in Asia to do so.

Not only local Taiwan people, the event also attracted LGBT supporters and groups from Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries, which made the 17th Taiwan Pride Parade even more colorful.

Stories of that Day
We have collected several stories that our friends who participated in this Pride Parade would like to share with you. People who were in the parade come from different occupations, different communities, and different regions, but they all share the same inclusiveness and belief in love.

01 George's wedding dress

"This is the first year that same-sex marriage is legal. I wore this dress because I thought boys can wear wedding dresses and girls can wear suits ...... I hope to marry the one I love!"

In the evening, LesPark also organized an After Party at Taipei Expo Park, which was the first time in the past few years that we hosted an offline party after the parade. Well-known musicians such as The Drunk Band, singer Super, DJ Sunnie & DJ Kai and many more were present to bring fun to the event.
