SocietyAfter bar controversy, what is Taipei’s Pride parade seeking?

About 170,000 people joined this year’s Taipei Pride parade on 31 October. The event, one of East Asia’s largest LGBTQ equality gatherings, took on added political significance after police searched a gay bar in the city; participants celebrated gains in equality and raised concerns about prejudice, policing disputes and gender issues, while many said discussion of equality and inclusion should continue.
