For our second annual Pride in Pictures, LGBTQ Nation asked readers to submit a meaningful photo of themselves at Pride.

We have absolutely loved seeing your joy, your glitter, your fabulous outfits, and of course, your pride. Now, we’re spending the summer sharing some of our favorite photos and stories with all of you.

What makes this photo special to you?

In 2019, Taiwan was the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. My husband and I, both Brazilians living in Melbourne, Australia, decided to go to Taipei for the first pride march after the same-sex marriage legalization. The city was colorful, welcoming and super friendly. It was one of the most amazing experiences. Taiwan is an amazing country! Hope to come back soon.
