WELE TO GAY TAIPEI 2021

The bate over same-sex marriage has been gog on sce 2003 when the executive branch of the ernment started to prepare legislatn to allow gay marriage. Meanwhile, the movement support of gay marriage was growg Taiwan wh publicy events like the biggt same-sex weddg party ever 2011. The panel of judg gave the ernment 2 years to legalize same-sex marriage, which would make the first untry Asia to legalise gay marriage.

WHY GAY-IENDLY TAIWAN IS A CREATIVE HAVEN FOR LGBTQ ART

The good news is, acrdg to a 2016 study, tolerance towards homosexualy Taiwan creased 132% between 1995 and 2012 and Taiwan’s reputatn as the most gay-iendly untry Asia is certaly more than jtified by this and s thrivg gay muny.

However another study showed that Taiwane people were ls likely to be tolerant of gay members of their own fay wh 38. This shows that there are still some graed prejudic and a certa amount of misunrstandgs about the gay muny – sadly somethg reflected the 2018 referendum rult. Although there are challeng for LGBT cizens, gay travellers to the untry n feel nfint that they’ll fd a warm wele, some great gay nights out and the biggt gay scene all of Asia.

It’s been this way for years, to be hont, but only recently has bee an ternatnal LGBT travel statn and gay travellers should feel enuraged to vis and lend support.

GAY KAOHSIUNG

Visors will notice a relatively high number of gay upl out and about, perhaps even gettg a ltle close a bar, but ’s worth highlightg here that general public displays of affectn are not big Taiwan. That’s why gay travellers to Taiwan should be aware of where they are to ensure they are not embarrassg people around – ’s rarely hostile, but people here will feel a b embarrassed by both heterosexual and homosexual displays of smoochg!

There are many fascatg plac to disver Taiwan and gay travellers should feel posive about travellg all around. Taipei, as the pal, naturally has the biggt gay scene wh a diverse gaybourhood and the aforementned Pri. Once travellers start headg to other ci, like Taan, they will fd much ls on offer the form of flamboyant gay scen; but the are still plac worth gog.

As you’d expect om a hospable and progrsive untry, ’s not a stggle to fd gay-iendly acmodatn Taiwan. Usually, the hotels near the gay nightlife the bigger ci are more likely to be gay ‘hotspots’. G’s Hotel is the first gay hotel Taipei offerg budget acmodatn exclively for men wh a foc on shared bathrooms and gettg zy wh other guts.

GAY/BL (TAIWAN)

We have to say, however, that we wouldn’t stay for the r and there are plenty of other fabulo gay-iendly acmodatn optns Taiwan. The food Taiwan is jtifiably world-renowned, whether ’s high cuise or street food at night markets – this n be enjoyed by all visors, gay and straight alike!

Of urse all activi are open to everyone and gay visors to Taiwan will fd plenty to su any travel tast.

For more gay-specific activi, travellers n take their trip durg one of the Pri events the cy to show support for LGBT rights Taiwan (and have a hell of a good time! There’s also the famo Red Hoe area Taipei where there are multiple gay bars, clubs and f – visors should do their rearch to figure out which on they n give a miss!

All of the ci have at least one ‘reputable’ gay sna that travellers n try out to learn more about the gay scene Taiwan. The LGBT scene particular is very excg and we totally believe supportg a untry that’s so far ahead of s neighbours terms of gay rights.

Gay travellers should expect to meet tons of new iends, disver some credible dish, see some great sights and enjoy some fabulo nights out. Taipei is one of Asia’s top gay statns wh a lively gay scene centered around the Red Hoe District. The cy has all the gredients for a perfect gay pe, tropil weather, superb cuise, great shoppg and sexy lols.

Most of the gay scene is spread along the trans l of The Red Hoe entertament district Ximen, the Zhongshan area to the north and Zhongshan Dunhua to the east of the cy.

The W Hotel is at the centre of gay life wh several pool parti and themed nights takg place durg key events such as pri and New years. Gay visors tend to stay wh the central districts around Ximendg where you will fd lots of fortable budget and 4 star hotel optns. Taipei be the gayt place Asia every fall, when Taiwan LGBT Pri draws visors om all across the ntent and beyond to take to the streets for a march, which breaks to three distct, snakg rout.

Polilly, Taipei has been notably progrsive over the past uple of s: Ma Yg-jeou, Taipei’s ex-Mayor and, later, Taiwan’s Print, was famoly pro-gay and alloted funds to LGBTQ events. One of the most obv ditors of Taipei’s openns, and a pulsory stop for any LGBTQ visor, is Red Hoe, a multi-level plex of door and outdoor gay bars, clubs, and clothg and accsory shops loted jt a block or so om the Ximen MRT statn. After takg the “big” tourist sights—the shops and observatn ck at skyscraper Taipei 101, The Natnal Palace Mm, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, and one of Taipei's many amazg night markets (the sprawlg Shil is a first timer's mt-do)—head directly to G G, a gay, everythg store the Zhongzheng district.
