Fridae

It was the biggest Pride to be held since the coronavirus pandemic forced hundreds of major LGBT+ events to cancel around the world.

This year's Taiwan Pride took its theme from a Chinese proverb, translating as ‘to support and help others fulfill their cherished dreams’ but also means adulthood beauty’ – a nod to the event’s age.  A Pride spokesperson said the theme embraced the many kinds of body-positive beauty and that society should embrace them all, whether short, tall, overweight, slim, masuline or feminine.
