Taipei Pride Map description: In May 2019, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, which makes this year’s pride month all the more meaningful for the LGBT community. You can join the annual pride parade in Taipei on 10/26, with the parade route starting at the Taipei City Hall plaza and ending in front of the Presidential Office Building. If you’re planning to celebrate pride (and halloween!) in Taipei, follow our Taipei Pride Map to experience what Taipei has to offer for the LGBT community.clubs.title: Clubs{clubs.triangle} name: Triangle address: No. 1, Yumen Street, Zhongshan District, Taipei City, 10491 description: While Triangle is not strictly a gay club, do pay attention to the events hosted by WERK.
