台北市长蒋万安在一场激烈的连任竞选中，于周六短暂现身台湾一年一度的大型同志大游行时，遭到愤怒的抗议者迎面痛斥。此前不久，警方突击搜查了一家市内同志酒吧，引发公愤。
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, in a close race for re-election, got an angry reception on Saturday when be briefly showed up for Taiwan's packed annual Pride parade, following a police raid on a city gay bar earlier this month.
记者 李亦谋、白兰德 报道 此次突击搜查触动了台湾社会的敏感神经。台湾于2019年成为亚洲首个将同性婚姻合法化的地区，并以其作为亚洲LGBTQ+（性少数群体）权利堡垒的声誉自居，而在该地区，此类权利常遭压制。
By Yimou Lee, Ben Blanchard The raid struck a nerve in Taiwan, which legalised same-sex marriage in 2019 in a first for Asia and is proud of its reputation as a bastion of LGBTQ+ rights in a region where they are often repressed.
周六的游行吸引了超过17万人参加，是东亚规模最大的同志大游行。
More than 170,000 people joined Saturday's parade, which is east Asia's largest Pride event.
来自在野党国民党的蒋万安此前曾表达过对LGBTQ+群体的支持，他在游行尾声现身，仅停留了约15分钟。
Chiang, from the opposition Kuomintang party and who has previously expressed his support for the LGBTQ+ community, arrived at the end of the parade and stayed for only around 15 minutes.
现场响起了“不要突击搜查同志酒吧”的怒吼，以及支持其主要竞争对手、执政党民进党候选人沈伯洋的喧闹呼声。
He was met with shouts of "don't raid gay bars" and noisy calls of support for his main opponent, Puma Shen of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
蒋万安对记者表示：“我早就说过：我为对受影响者造成的冲击道歉。所以在这件事上，我们将进行严格调查并立即处分。” 随后，他在记者和安保人员的包围下，与几名支持者合影留念后离开，抗议者的喊声仍在继续。
"I already said this earlier: I apologise for the impact on those affected," Chiang told reporters. "So on this matter, we will conduct a rigorous investigation and impose immediate discipline." He then posed for pictures with a few supporters as he left, surrounded by reporters and security with protesters continuing to shout.
30岁的张先生（Alan Chang，音译）表示，发生这种突击搜查“荒谬且令人难以置信”。
Alan Chang, 30, said it was "ridiculous and unbelievable" that such a raid could have even happened.
“这是一个强调性别平等的国家和城市，我们的市长竟然会纵容这种事？”他补充道。
"This is a country and a city that emphasises gender equality and our mayor would condone this?" he added.
民调显示支持率领先蒋万安的沈伯洋，在集会的另一处现身，受到人群热烈欢迎。
Shen, who some opinion polls have put ahead of Chiang, appeared at a different part of the rally where he was warmly greeted by the crowd.
副总统萧美琴率领民进党代表团参加游行，而总统赖清德在其脸书专页发文表示，没有人应该因为自己是谁而感到恐惧。
Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim led the DPP's delegation to Pride, while President Lai Ching-te wrote on his Facebook page that nobody should feel fear because of who they are.
赖清德补充道：“这种尊重也必须体现在每一次公权力的行使中。”受突击搜查影响，游行主办单位修改了今年的主题。
"This respect must also be reflected in every exercise of public authority," Lai added. Pride organisers revised this year's theme after the raid.
他们在本周的一份声明中表示，警方的搜查“重燃了性别多元群体长期遭受国家机器压迫的历史创伤”。
The police search "reawakened the historical trauma of sexually and gender-diverse communities long subjected to oppression by state authorities", they said in a statement this week.
本月，台北警方突击搜查了位于该市主要同志聚集区西门町的 Commander D 酒吧，带走 51 人接受询问，并逮捕了店主。
Taipei police raided the Commander D bar in the city's main gay neighbourhood of Ximen this month and took 51 people in for questioning and arrested the owner.
警方指控他们违反禁止“在公共场所任意裸露身体或呈现猥亵姿态”法律条文，部分人被扣留超过六小时。
