LGBT Taiwanese in New York have invited the world to Asia’s biggest pride celebration by renting a float in the American city’s annual gay pride parade.

On the weekend of the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, an event that is often heralded as the beginning of the LGBT rights movement, events were held in Europe, Asia, and across Americas. 

Fridae talks to two gay Asian artists in New York at the opening of The Male Gaze, a gay art exhibition held at The powerHouse Arena which runs till May 27. What led them to America, and what do they want to say with their work? Ng Yi-Sheng finds out.
