Taipei gay club
LGBT Taipei Discord/social display out groups

I just moved to Taipei from Changhua, I have no friends here and would like to hang out with fellow queers in Taipei (or an online chat group would also be okay). Foreigners, or locals, I don’t tend, as long as you would be willing to accept me (and my shitty Mandarin skills haha). We can talk about almost anything, from movies to tech, from politics to food, from your pets to architecture (basically I’m a loser who likes to waste his own time reading Wikipedia pages).
Thanks guys!

I can relate to the Wikipedia part ^^
Sorry, no plan about online, but offline there are some “obvious” Taipei LGBT places that attract LGBT crowds, making it easy to fetch contacts:
- Red House Area in Ximending (many bars)
- G Actor (gay club)
- Commander D (a bit more hardcore same-sex attracted club)
- Taboo Club (lesbian club)
- Wonder Bar (lesbian bar/cafe)
- Triangle club has drag nights that might also be attracting an interesting crowd
PS: All of these places are also welcoming to unbent people as far as I can tell. At le

Last weekend I tried to go to “Lust” – but I guess it got closed down by the police on its second night in business. So I went to Funky, which was totally packed with people (too crowded, actually).
Anyone want a clubbing buddy? I’m here for the summer and don’t really know my way around. Plus, my Chinese is shit, so it would be gentle to find some people to go out with.

If you are new, can’t speak Chinese, try Fresh.

Funky is mainly a Taiwanese club. The couple times I’ve been I’ve only seen one or two other foreigners. Like Flicka said, try Fresh, although personally I hate the atmosphere
TAIPEI — Under a moonlit canopy of bare tree branches, two men in black leather jackets lean against a brick wall. Their exchange is wordless, with only leisurely movements forward: A lingering gaze, twice over the right shoulder. A hand, stretching over the tense distance between them. One’s fingertips meet the other’s thigh, gradually wrapping around as a claim over the other’s body for the night. But just as a breeze rustles the canopy above, the other clicks his tongue almost inaudibly. He pushes himself off the wall and away from the grips of this dark park corner, emerging into the streetlamp-lit expanse of Taipei’s streets.
I think of this scene, from the Taiwanese film “Where is the Love?” by the woman loving woman director Chen Jo-fei, whenever I trek through Peace Park, formerly known as New Park, in central Taipei. In the latter half of the 20th century, it was one of the city’s most well-known gay cruising districts, where men picked up other men through a social code of gazes and grazes.
The news media painted the park as a den of iniquity. As early as , Unite Taiwan Gay Bars: Gay Bars in Taipei and Beyond: Before I visited for myself last year, My knowledge of what exactly Taiwan had to offer Diverse travellers was limited to the fact that gay marriage was legalised, and that Taiwan was the first Asian country to do so. But beyond that, and in terms of a gay scene – I had no idea either how big it would be, or even if there was one at all! So, imagine my surprise to study that Taiwan not only has a gay scene, but a thriving and vibrant gay scene at that – and this extends beyond the capital urban area of Taipei too. There are gay bars, gay clubs, and gay owned businesses such as cafes and restaurants in attractive much every major city on the island. Regardless of what type of venue you are searching for too, Taiwan has you covered, especially in Taipei. If you are looking for a quiet bar to have hold up drinks with friends, or a bar to do some K-pop karaoke, or somewhere to bust some moves until the early hours, Taipei will contain somewhere to suit. There are even bars for the slightly more “outgoing” traveller &n
