Asia/Pacific, News & Politics

Pride parades are an international symbol of LGBT celebration or demonstration.  They come in all shapes and sizes.  For the Asian region, there is one that is head and shoulder above the rest – which is also a symbol of their recent progress in LGBT rights.  This is Taiwan.

• JOY’s own Shannon Power, currently in Taiwan for their massive Pride celebration with Gay Star News
• Stephane, a gay doctor in Taiwan who works in the field of HIV
