On Saturday, October 25, 2025, the 23^rd Taiwan Pride Parade took place in grand form in front of the Taipei City Hall. This year's theme, "Beyond Links: More than Clicks - Crossing Labels and Understanding Differences," calls on society not to remain at the surface level of interaction in the digital era, but to genuinely understand the diverse life experiences of others. The parade encourages breaking through prejudice and labels, fostering authentic interpersonal connections.
