Hong Kong saw its first gay pride parade Dec. 13. About 1,000 people marched, including many who came from Taiwan and mainland China.
The two-mile procession traversed Hennessy Road in the city center.
Attendance may have been positively influenced by news reports before the parade, when Hong Kong's biggest bus company refused to rent a double-decker bus to pride organizers.
