Did Mr. Ma Ying-jeou ever take part in gay parade?
First of all, the parade was over this year. Pres. Ma Ying-jeou did not show up.

(5) In none of the above, Mr. Ma Ying-jeou participated in the PARADE itself
.
While in office, Pres. Chen Shui-bian had no role in any activity related to
gays.
(6) If I were a politician in Taipei, I'd go. In my opinion, parade
organizers in Taipei was too prim to decline Mr. Su, the DPP mayoral
candidate for City of Taiepi.
