The 12th Taiwan Pride Parade successfully concluded on October 25th on Ketagalan Boulevard, attracting nearly 65,000 participants this year—the highest number ever. This year’s parade theme focused on “Embracing Gender%quality. Recognizing Differences,” aiming to break the single stereotype of the LGBTQ+ community, allowing people to see and understand each other’s differences, and encouraging more individuals to face diversity head-on.

As the number of participants in the parade has grown year by year and the diversity among attendees has increased, it seems to reflect that public attitudes toward LGBTQ+ issues are gradually evolving from the past toward a more open and inclusive direction. International travel websites have specifically ranked the world’s top ten most LGBTQ+-welcoming destinations based on factors such as the development, inclusiveness, and acceptance of LGBTQ+ (an acronym for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender individuals) communities in various countries.
