Photo Essay: LGBT Pride Parade Taipei 2009

By Carrie on November 10, 2009

Taipei’s seventh annual Gay Pride Parade was held on October 31st this year. Over 25,000 people showed up to march in the parade, asking for recognition of equal rights and same-sex marriage. The parade also included supporters from Hong Kong, Japan, and South East Asian countries.

Taipei’s Gay Pride parade is the largest in Asia. Last year’s march drew over 18,000 supporters.

Pro model Jaclynn and I marched in the parade together to show our support of gay rights.

Marcus Aurelius from Waakao! also showed his support.

Great photos Carrie. I’ve seen a few different bloggers and photographers post stuff from the day but yours are by far the best. Well done – keep it up.
