Pride Parade：同性戀的遊行

Last weekend I participated in the Pride Parade in Taipei! This day was a happy day filled with over a hundred thousand happy people  🌈 How could you not smile? 🌈 Rainbow flags representing countries all over the world blew through the air. With Taiwan palm trees in the background, I couldn't imagine a more beautiful sight. Being a part of this parade made me feel like I could be anyone I wanted, and I know that everyone here also felt like they had the right to just be themselves. 🌈
上个週末我參加了台北的同性戀的遊行! 這一天是一個很快樂的一天有超過10萬快樂的人。 🌈你怎麼能不笑？ 🌈彩虹旗代表世界上各地的國家，都吹響了空氣。在背景有台灣棕櫚樹，我無法想像一個更美麗的景象。參加這個遊行的一部分讓我覺得我可以成為任何我想要的人，我知道這裡的每個人也覺得他們有權利只做自己。🌈

This parade was not just to celebrate equality, but it also was a march for gay marriage. The elections are coming up soon in Taiwan, and we marched though the parade in hopes that people will vote "yes" to gay marriage in Taiwan! Last week, a movie event that I went to handed out pamphlets that clearly show which measures will or will not support LGBTQ rights. I think it is wonderful to see that Taiwan is doing something like this. 🌈
這個遊行不只是為了慶祝平等，也是同性婚姻的遊行。在台灣選舉會很快到了，我們在遊行的原因是希望人會對台灣的同性婚姻投“贊”！上個禮拜，我參加一個電影活動，分發小冊子，清楚地表明哪些措施將支持或不支持LGBTQ權利。我很高興看到台灣做這樣的事情。🌈
