"The Rabbit God"), a Chinese deity associated with gay love and sex.
[2] Founded by Taoist priest Lu Wei-ming in 2006, the shrine is explicitly welcoming to gay congregants, and draws about 9,000 attendees per year.
While praying to the gods for a lover is a traditional Taoist custom, the Wei-ming temple's focus on sexuality is distinct, and a symbol of queer identity in Taiwanese society.
[2][3] The temple has been the target of sporadic protests by Taiwan's small Christian community,[2] with a priest attempting to perform an exorcism of the shrine on one occasion.
[4] In recent years, the temple has received an increase in visitors, mainly well-wishers of the god Tu'er Shen.
