Taiwan: Hundreds commemorate death of gay professor Jacques Picoux

Several hundred attended a memorial event on Ketagalan Boulevard to commemorate the one year anniversary of the death of NTU professor Jacques Picoux yesterday. Picoux, a Frenchman living in Taiwan and a well known professor at NTU, committed suicide as a result of depression following the death of his partner, Zeng Jingchao, who he lived with for 35 years.
