Rainbow-coloured flags filled the streets of Taiwan's capital as tens of thousands took part in Asia's largest Pride parade on Saturday.
People take part in Taiwan’s annual LGBTQ Pride Parade, set off from Taipei City Hall in Taipei on October 28, 2023.
Parliament in May passed an amendment allowing gay couples to jointly adopt children, a move hailed by activists as “another big step forward”.“I believe this is a wonderful development,” Chang told AFP.Vice President Lai Ching-te, who is also the presidential candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, said at the parade that his party has “stood by your side” on the path to equal rights.
Taiwan is home to a thriving LGBTQ community and Pride attendee Jason Wu, 19, said this year’s march emphasised diversity.
