Taiwan held its annual pride parade on Saturday, as tens of thousands of people gathered for the world’s largest such event since the pandemic began.

Revelers -- most without masks -- marched in the capital, highlighting Taiwan’s status as one of Asia’s most LGBT-friendly places, as well as its success in containing the coronavirus outbreak to allow such a gathering to proceed.
