Gay parade invites dialogue Jiang Wanan City Government: Under evaluation, Shen Boyang readily agrees

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the new social housing project in Jingfeng District 2, Wenshan District, Taipei City on the 6th.

The Taiwan Pride Parade that will be held at the end of October will have this year's theme of "Let's listen together, walk together together". Drag queen Sandra posted a post on social media yesterday, tagging Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan and Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, inviting the two people to participate in a citizen dialogue to discuss how to make society more diverse and friendly. Shen Boyang was interviewed today and said he "happily agreed." Jiang Wanan did not respond when asked about the matter in the morning. The Taipei City Government said in the afternoon: "Thanks for the invitation, we will definitely come and evaluate it."

In the post, Sandra invited the current mayor and mayoral candidates to sit down and have a conversation together. She hopes that through the dialogue, people with different positions and identities will have the opportunity to speak out, and also discuss how Taipei can build a friendlier and diverse city.

Shen Boyang said in an interview today that he "happily agreed" to the invitation for citizens' dialogue. As for how he will participate in the Pride Parade at the end of October, he has left a message below Sandra's post, saying that he would be very happy to participate if given the opportunity, and asked his office partners to contact them to learn more about the event arrangements.

In contrast, Jiang Wanan did not respond immediately when asked whether he accepted the invitation this morning. The Taipei City Government said on its behalf in the afternoon: "Thank you for the invitation, we will definitely come and evaluate it."
