As I was waiting for Michelle in 228 Park, I noticed unusual activity in one area. Passersby were staring and ogling.
Some young men were applying body make-up to a friend, and I was under the impression that a photo shoot was being prepared for.
It turned out that preparation was being made to participate in Taipei Pride 2009.
The costume was hand-made by the wearer, but he called in the help of his friends with the fitting.
The end result is stunning and a red angelic creature is born.
The wings are heavy and difficult to keep in place, upon the shoulders. Likewise, the tail seems to be awkward to pull behind.
However, he walked the whole two and half hours, posed for many pictures, ....
... and brought glittering attention to the plight of gays, not only in Taiwan but across Asia. Hopefully Mr. Ma took notice of the inequalities in Taiwanese law, which hurt the LGBT minority of Taiwan.
