http://www.fridae.com/newsfeatures/article.php?articleid=2028&viewarticle=1 September 5, 2007 taiwan pride parade to be held oct 13 By News Editor 　Taiwan's fifth annual pride parade will be held on Oct 13 in Taipei, the organising committee announced last week. 　台灣同志遊行籌備會上週宣告，台灣第五屆同志大遊行，十月十三日將在台北舉行。　Organised by a coalition of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups including the Gender/Sexuality Rights Association Taiwan, Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline Association, the gay affirmative Tong-Kwang Light House Presbyterian Church, Federation of LGBT Teachers and Gin Gin's bookstore. 　包含性／別平權會、台灣同志諮詢熱線、同光長老教會、同性戀教師聯盟以及晶晶書庫等組織在內的眾多男女同志、雙性戀與跨性別社團，透過結盟組織起本年度的同志遊行。　One of the highlights this year include a huge rainbow flag that will be formed on Zhongxiao East Road as marchers will be given coloured cards which they will hold up. 　今年，同志大遊行的重頭戲之一，是要在忠孝東路上創造出一面巨大的彩虹旗－－主辦單位將會依照遊行各中隊出發的順序，發給遊行參與者不同顏色的紙卡，拼成一面巨型彩虹旗。　The parade’s “Rainbow Power” hopes to appeal to the LGBT community to stand together and be visible as a community to mainstream society. 　遊行口號「彩虹有夠力」，是希望凝聚同志、跨性別社群的力量，以期使主流社會將同志視為一個可見的「群體」。　According to a press statement issued, the Taiwan Pride Community estimates some 10 percent of the population to be lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgendered. “These LGBT communities are however still treated unfairly and are constantly discriminated against in society." The statement says that LGBT citizens hope to "extend friendly hands to interact and have dialogue with non-LGBT people... to overturn the negative stereotypes." 　根據一份新聞稿，在台灣地區，同志（含男、女同志與雙性戀者）與跨性別人口數約佔全國總人口數的十分之一。「然而，台灣的同志在社會中仍然受到不甚平等的對待，社會依舊歧視著同志，」這份稿件寫道，同志公民希望「伸出友誼之手與非同志族群互動、交流、對話，以扭轉其對同志固有的負面刻板印象。」　While there had been several small scale gay parades/protests since 1996, the first official Taiwan Pride parade started in 2003 and was reportedly attended by 20,000 marchers. The event received 70,000 TWD (USD2,117) in sponsorship from the city government and was officiated by Mayor Ma Ying-jeou. 　自１９９６年以來，在台灣其實已有數次較小規模的同志遊行。官方首次投入經費舉辦「台灣同志大遊行」乃在於２００３年，由台北市長馬英九簽署約七十萬元經費，四年來已累積超過兩萬人次參與。　Taiwan appears to be one of Asia’s most gay friendly territories with same-sex marriage legislation being discussed by legislators since 2001 when the Ministry of Justice produced a draft of the basic human rights law which proposed that gays and lesbians be allowed to form families by legally adopting children. 　就亞洲地區而言，台灣似乎對同志最友善的地區了。自２００１年起，同性婚姻便被一些立法委員納入議題討論，法務部亦在該年提出基本人權法草案，內容保障了男女同志可合法組成家庭並收養孩童的權利。　In 2005, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators proposed to amend the 2002 Gender Equality in Employment Law to include transgendered, gay and lesbian employees. 　２００５年，民進黨立法委員推動修改２００２年版本的兩性工作平等法，亦將跨性別者、男女同志勞工皆納入保障範圍。　The parade is scheduled to begin at 1.30pm in front of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall on Renai Road and ending at City Hall. 　依表訂，遊行將於當天下午一點三十分於仁愛路國父紀念館門口出發，並在市政廣場會師結束。 http://twpride.net/ 遊行官方網站 -- 這不是一個網誌連結。 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/yclou -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.120.145 ※ 編輯: yclou 來自: 218.166.120.145 (09/07 01:26)
