Taipei hosts Asia’s largest Pride Parade

About 15,000 people turned up at the Taiwan Pride Parade 2007 held on Saturday, October 13, in Taipei, breaking its previous record of 10,000.

This year marks the fifth time a gay pride parade is held in Taiwan, and the event stood up to its promise to be the largest gay event of the year with a record number of participants.

The parade has grown in strength and size over the years, garnering an increasing number of supporters and participation from civil activism groups and individuals from outside the LGBT community.
