This international Forum aims to network the LGBT human rights organization and key leaders in East Asia while improving the interaction and co-operation between local organizations and the civil societies.

The Forum has two major themes: 'Marriage Equality in the Asian Context' , and 'Localized LGBT Movements'. The Panelists come from five different areas: Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. And it aims to advocate marriage equality in various countries in East Asia and exchange on the status quo of, dilemma faced by and development within different local LGBT movements.

As the annual Taipei LGBT Pride takes place on the following day of the Forum (the 27th of October), the Forum, apart from galvanizing social currents into human rights issues, serves to publicize Asia experiences and liaise between LGBTI-friendly groups, events and shops.
