Taiwan Pride Parade 2007

So there was a gay parade in Taiwan a few days ago. It was the 5th annual gay parade in Taiwan. They said that 15,000 people turned up (10,000 in 2006). The parade has grown in strength and size over the past few years. Some representatives from two major political parties were present at the parade as well. This shows how much both the political parties care about the LGBT community (for their votes at least). Hopefully no matter which party wins the election next year, it will be good for the LGBT community. Here are some pictures from the event. You can read more about the parade HERE.


This is the tallest building in Taiwan, and also tallest in the world (currently). It's called Taipei 101. It has nothing to do with the parade but I thought it's cool to show you guys:

Well it's certainly nice to see that so many people turned up to participate and showed their support at the parade. It's also cool to see a presidential candidate from one party and a "hopeful" from the other party there. This isn't something you get to see in the oh-so-open United States.
