While international visitors came from a number of countries, contingents from geographically close Asian countries or territories, such as Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, and South Korea, were particularly visible. With many international visitors, the large turnout today was in part due to Taiwan making history earlier this year as the first country in Asia to legalize gay marriage. Last year’s pride parade drew 130,000, meaning that attendance has nearly doubled between this year and last year. This makes today’s march-the 17th iteration of the annual pride parade-the largest ever in the history of the event. MORE THAN 200,000 participated in this year’s Taiwan LGBT Pride today, according to organizers.
