AdvertisementSKIP WisemanJune 21, 2018Updated on June 7, 2019When I me out as gay more than 10 years ago, there were only four letters monly ed to group var sexual and genr mori: L, G, B and letters were an evolutn toward cln — an expansn of the language ed to reprent a disparate group that had often jt been lled “the gay muny. We have updated this list to reflect more mon them among the follows is a by-no-means clive list of AND LESBIAN It’s important to start wh the basics, and “gay” and “lbian” are as basic as gets. Gradually, as what was then lled the gay liberatn movement gaed steam, the phrase “gay and lbian” beme more popular as a way to highlight the siar-yet-separate issu faced by women the fight for is still sometim ed as an umbrella term, but the days, also refers specifilly to men, as “gay men and lbians.

Celebrated as a victory for global lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr (LGBT) rights, Taiwan’s 2019 law privileg marriage and blogil parent-child ti as the foundatn for LGBT fay rights and (-)parental regnn. Drawg om legal and ethnographic rearch on Taiwan’s same-sex marriage law and the fay formatn strategi of Taiwane LGBT parents, we terrogate how marriage equaly teracts wh related legal domas and prevailg stigmas of illegimacy, adoptn, and homosexualy Taiwan.

GAY RIGHTS

Closely attuned to the plex teractns among different legal domas and typ of stigma, our analysis terrogat three teractg stigmas prevalent Taiwan: the stigma of non-maral birth (illegimacy), non-blogil parenthood (adoptn), and non-heterosexual inti and timaci (homosexualy). We document how the stigmas of illegimacy and adoptn emerged first s of heterosexual parentage and adoptn, how they beme associated wh the stigma of homosexualy for LGBT parents unable or unwillg to “ver” their sexualy (Yosho Reference Yosho2006), and how the 748 Act simultaneoly reaffirms and transforms long-standg stigmatizatn agast non-normative parenthood. To date, lbians and gay men who sire blogil children mt travel abroad for stly ART treatment or pursue legally unprotected arrangements at home, such as donor sematn, ntractual marriag, or rmal surrogacy (surrogacy remas illegal Taiwan).

Our discsn of the 748 Act’s nsequenc draws primarily om taped terviews wh sixty-three LGBT-parent fai nducted om July 2017 to July 2020, reprentg gay fathers (one-third) and lbian mothers (two-thirds) who beme parents before the Constutnal Court cisn, the terveng perd before the Act was passed, and after the Act went to effect.

For LGBT parents before the 748 Act, however, the double stigma of illegimacy and adoptn bed wh the stigma of homosexualy to ny their fay legimacy, valug their fay stat and blockg accs to the rights and privileg enjoyed by “normative” fai. Yet the termatn of the bt terts of the child uld easily discrimate agast sgle adopters, and sgle stigma uld also stand for the stigmatizatn of homosexualy or non-normative genr, nflatg maral stat and sexual orientatn discrimatn to create signifint barriers for tongzhi seekg to adopt.

When lbian mothers and gay fathers the Uned Stat began to seek child ctody through the urts the late twentieth century, they rejected the logic of this argument, drawg on the US Supreme Court’s 1984 cisn Palmore v. In Taiwan, moreover, the maral mand has also revalized the stigma of homosexualy by outg tongzhi parents socially and burecratilly through the cln of a same-genr spoe’s name on their intifitn documents.

When bed wh the retentn of the qualifyg character “adoptive” for tongzhi stepparents only, this documentary treatment affirms how the new illegimacy Taiwan is fed by the stigma of homosexualy more than the racialized stctural equali relevant to analys of renewed illegimacy stigmas the Uned Stat: marriage remas “elive or unsirable for many” (Murray Reference Murray2012, 436) through teractns between the 748 Act and Taiwan’s hoehold registratn laws and intifitn polici. The genred dimensns of this opposn functned differently for gay fathers and lbian mothers due to societal anxieti about unmarried mothers and faial expectatns that sons ntue the patrileal fay le— some stanc, regardls of how they did so (Braer Reference Braer2019). Gay fathers faced ncerns about the child’s “lack” of a mother and a man’s abily to perform childre that is tradnally genred female (Boyer Reference Boyer and Rafael2007, 230); motherlsns the s functned ls as a marker of illegimacy and more as a potential threat to the child’s well-beg.
