About the 17th Parade

Let's be each other's good neighbors

The LGBT movement in Taiwan has been going on for dozens of years, and today, not only are there more and more LGBT reports in the media, but there are also many real life stories of LGBT people appearing more frequently in online communities, and we are seeing more LGBT people showing up in all sorts of places in Taiwan.

During the referendum at the end of last year, many people came out of the closet for human rights and equality, using their own stories to let more people understand why sex equality education and marriage equality are important; these appearances were not only the expressions of gay individuals and gay friends and relatives coming out of the closet, but also many heterosexual allies in the land who came forward and worked together to express their support for gays and lesbians.

They are all "gay good alley"

For the past 16 years, Taiwan LGBTQ Tour has had a different theme every year, but what remains the same is that this is always a platform for the expression of LGBTQ issues, and every different person is welcome.

This year, for the 17th year, the theme of the event is "Good Neighborhoods for LGBTQ People", and "Good Neighborhoods" means "Good Neighborhoods". For us in the LGBT community, we can become "good neighbors" by caring for and understanding these important issues and supporting each other, such as senior citizen long term care, AIDS destigmatization, sex education, workplace equality, marriage equality, barrier equality, sex work legalization, aborigines and new aborigines, and transition justice. In the land of Taiwan, diversity, tolerance and harmony are the human and social values of life that we are known for. Taiwan will also become the world's "good neighborhood" because of its happiness and common good.

This year is the first year of same-sex marriage in Taiwan, but the gay movement is not yet over, because discrimination and misunderstanding have not yet disappeared. While the sun shines on our bodies, we must not forget that there are still shadows behind us. As long as we are willing to show up, our stories will bring more understanding and change to Taiwan society. We all deserve to have a "good alley" and we can all become "17" gay alley.
