today there was a gay pride march in taipei. i saw some of the participants as i walked from the mrt to work this afternoon. such queer visiblity is rather rare in taiwan, so such an event is a good thing(especially if participants are made up of more than your typical butch lesbian and flaming gay man). it'll be even better if the human rights bill that inlcudes a clause for leagalizing gay marriage is passed. it could happen, as taiwan wants to be seen as a progressive and modern society. but when it comes to things like this i'll believe it when it happens.
