Toward a Diverse and Harmonious Taiwan

After years of hard work, Taiwan officially passed the same-sex marriage bill in 2019, becoming the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, which not only protects the LGBT+ rights in Taiwan, but also demonstrates Taiwan's active attitude of tolerance and diversity. This year, Taiwan was awarded the “Best LGBTQ Trend Destination in 2024” by Spartacus Traveler in Germany.

Gender-Friendly and Inclusive Taipei

Taiwan is a pioneer in the gender equality movement, and Taipei City is one of the key birthplaces of this movement. Taipei is home to many attractions of special significance in the history of gender equality, and it is also an important venue for the Asian LGBT+ Pride Parade. Since the first Gay Pride Parade in 2003, Taipei City has been committed to creating a gay-friendly environment and becoming an international human rights city that embraces the LGBTQ+ community. The 22nd Taiwan LGBT+ Pride Parade will be held on October 26th, 2024.

Discovering Color Taipei

The Taipei Travel website has set up a special LGBT+ attractions area, "Travel by Rainbow", which introduces information on Taipei’s LGBT+ friendly destinations as well as gender-friendly spaces and stores. The Taipei Rainbow Sightseeing Bus allows the public to take a tour to experience the diversity and friendliness of Taipei, and to gain an in-depth understanding of the history and current status of the LGBT+ equal rights movement in Taiwan through on-site visits to LGBT+ friendly attractions in Taipei. We invite you to join us in ColorTaipei and explore the colorfulness of this city.
