A step forward for Marriage Equality.

Could adoption equality become a reality?

Celebrating its 18th year, the Pride in Taipei on Saturday 31 October is estimated to have attracted a crowd of 130,000, despite rules which prevented foreign visitors.

Two female soldiers and their partners are due to take part in this year’s ceremony.

Taiwan is often described as Asia’s most gay-friendly place, not least after becoming the first in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage.

They come from Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and elsewhere to see for themselves what it is like to be homosexual yet feel secure, to see gay couples hold hands.

More than 200,000 people took to the streets of Taiwan’s capital, Taipei, on Saturday for what organisers said was Asia’s largest-ever LGBT pride parade.

Education policy targeted as conservatives fear teachers will turn kids gay.

This year's Taiwan Pride marks the first year of same-sex marriage in Taiwan, and indeed the first in Asia.

Taiwan’s ministry of education welcomed the news.
