An estimated 18,000 protesters marched in a gay pride parade in Taipei, Taiwan, in what's considered the largest such march to take place in Asia. The event was Taipei's sixth gay parade and occurred despite rain showers. The first parade, held in 2002, drew 500 people, while last year's saw 15,000.

"This shows that more and more homosexuals are daring to stand out and be themselves," the march's organizer, Wang Ping, told the paper. "But we hope this 'dare to be oneself' can turn into participation in the gay rights movements."

    What a wonderful story! The government of Taiwan has to be applauded for creating an atmosphere in which this parade could take place peacefully and without harassment. It's good to see gay rights spreading throughout the world.
