Taiwan stages LGBT pride parade 'for the world'
28 June 2020
Taiwan has hosted one of the world's few gay pride marches at a time when most countries have cancelled them because of the coronavirus pandemic.
More than 200 people thronged Liberty Square in Taipei, saying they were "marching for the world" during the LGBT pride season.
Organiser Darien Chen said it was an honour to march when nearly 500 other events globally had been cancelled.
Last year Taiwan became the first place in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage.
The island normally holds its pride parade in October but brought this year's event forward to replace the hundreds of cancelled marches around the world.
