Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, in a close race for re-election, got an angry reception on Saturday when he briefly showed up for Taiwan's packed annual Pride parade, following a police raid on a city gay bar earlier this month. The raid struck a nerve in Taiwan, which legalised same-sex marriage in 2019 in a first for Asia and is proud of its reputation as a bastion of LGBTQ+ rights in a region.
