TAIPEI, Taiwan– Rainbow-coloured flags filled the streets of Taiwan's capital as tens of thousands took part in Asia's largest Pride parade on Saturday, months after adoption rights were extended to same-sex couples.

People take part in Taiwan's annual LGBTQ Pride Parade, set off from Taipei City Hall in Taipei on October 28, 2023.

Parliament in May passed an amendment allowing gay couples to jointly adopt children, a move hailed by activists as"another big step forward"."I believe this is a wonderful development," Chang told AFP. "In the future, I will stand with all of you, firmly supporting you in being true to yourselves, making Taiwan even more beautiful."Saturday's Pride Parade, the 21st iteration in Taipei, was attended by around 176,000 people, according to organisers.
