(Taiwan) - Thousands from Taiwan's Gay and Lesbian community marched through the streets of Taipei Saturday demanding more rights for homosexuals. The parade took a carnival-like mood with marchers waving rainbow flags, colourful balloons and signs. "We have to make our voices and demands heard so that the government will do more to promote Gay rights," said Way Chao, a 22-year-old serviceman from southern Kaohsiung. In a symbol of unity, participants will raise coloured placards to form a giant rainbow flag later Saturday in a bustling business district in Taipei, organisers said.
