Thousands throng Taipei streets in East Asia's largest Pride march

Proudly democratic Taiwan is a bastion of liberal values in a part of the world where in many countries homosexuality remains illegal.

Since legalization on May 24, more than 2,150 same-sex couples have married in Taiwan, government data shows.

Organizers say more than 200,000 people are marching through the streets of Taipei, in a parade that will end in the evening outside the Presidential Office.
