Over 50,000 at Taiwan LGBT Pride Parade

A record of over 50,000 people from across Taiwan and abroad marched though Taipei last Saturday to push for marriage equality in Taiwan as the island marked its 10th annual LGBT Pride event.

The organizer said a record number of over 3,000 foreign LGBT supporters from 23 countries joined the event, which carried the theme “Marriage Revolution — Equal Rights to Marriage, Diversity in Partnership.”

Hong Kong pop star Gigi Leung and singer Anthony Wong, who came out publicly this year, showed up to express their support for LGBT rights.

“Love is gender-blind, everyone is entitled to the right to enjoy happiness,” Leung said was quoted as saying in the Taipei Times. “I can feel the joy of marriage after I got married last year, and I hope that everyone can enjoy the same degree of happiness as I do, regardless of their sexual orientation.”

Check out some photos and a video from Taiwan's 2012 LGBT Pride event.

The caption reads “Proudly support love!”

The response among Oreo’s 26.9 million fans has been fiercely divided, with many commenting that they planned to stop purchasing Oreos. “I'm never eating Oreos again. This is just disgusting,” one commenter said. “Unliking page and the rest of the ‘kraft’ family products... i will not support a company with these views,” wrote another. But the post also drew a massive amount of support in the form of 14,800 shares and 87,000 Likes as of this writing.
