TAIPEI -- "Fellow gays, can you use your ability to change the weather?" urged a flamboyantly clad man sitting atop a parade float as Taipei's 20th annual Taiwan Pride march kicked off in front of the Taipei City Hall on Oct. 29. Gray clouds filled the sky and rain poured down. But the terrible weather did not stop some 120,000 people from crowding onto the streets of central Taipei, some sporting vivid costumes, elaborate makeup or even bare skin.
