When I first went there in 2006 everything still seemed very closeted, but by the time I left 6 years later the change was tangible. When we went back in 2008 I felt comfortable enough to hold hands with my boyfriend in public, and instead of disgusted stares (like in South Africa) we got friendly smiles and the odd giggle. I'm really looking forward to going back next year. It makes me happy and a little proud to hear how Taiwan is steadily advancing towards becoming more accepting of homosexuality.

So maybe next year I'll get to check out their pride festival next year. I had some friends post photographs of the parade in Taipei-- looked like quite an event! We're still really curious to visit China at least, and when we do I think we'll take your suggestion of heading to Kunming- I'd love to see Yunnan. -X Thanks for all the advice about China– in the end, we’ve actually made the decision to aim for Taipei.
