Private Taipei LGBT Day Tour
Taiwan is the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. In the city of Taipei, there are many great places where LGBT history was made. Let’s explore the journey towards the equal rights of LGBT community in Taiwan from 1980s to today.
As the only country to legalize same-sex marriage, and also a pioneer in advocating LGBT rights in Asia, Taiwan has been keen on promoting LGBT tourism; the capital city—Taipei, is considered the most gay friendly city in Asia, where you can find gay bar, nightclubs, queer lifestyle stores, etc in the streets. In Taiwan, October is the month to celebrate the achievement of supporting LGBT rights, and also the month that Asia’s biggest pride parade is held—Taiwan LGBT Pride.
So follow the rainbow! Embrace the city’s diversity and experience the lifestyle of LGBT community in Taipei.

Rainbow Starting Line at Taipei City Hall Square is a pavement art piece located at Taipei City Hall Square.
