LGBT Rights In Taiwan
Taiwan is one of Asia's most progressive countries as far as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) rights are concerned, not only since the government attempted to legalize same-sex marriage in 2003 (which stalled without passage), the first country in Asia to attempt to do so. Taiwan is also described as the most liberal after approximately 65,000 attended the Taiwan Pride parade in 2012, making it the largest LGBT event in Asia.

Famous quotes containing the word rights:
“The importance of a lost romantic vision should not be underestimated. In such a vision is power as well as joy. In it is meaning. Life is flat, barren, zestless, if one can find one’s lost vision nowhere.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 19 (1962)
