Temple in Taipei is believed to be the only Taoist site set up to revere rabbit god Tu’er Shen, a significant symbol for LGBTQI people in Taiwan and China
During a quiet mid-week afternoon on the eighth floor of an office building, A-wei is meditatively separating flower petals to make an offering to Tu’er Shen the rabbit god, a spiritual guardian of LGBTQI people.
The small Taoist temple where 24-year-old A-wei sits is a humble room with views across New Taipei city, made cosy by the smell of incense and the mews of two noisy cats.
