THE GAY PRIDE para which is held yearly Taipei took place this past Saturday, as has been the se every year sce 2003. But this year may be an pecially signifint ocsn, given that DPP printial ndidate took the ocsn to exprs support for the legalizatn of gay marriage.

Tsai had been htg at that she would exprs support for gay marriage for some time, as telegraphed through the promence of the word “equaly” as a mpaign slogan and rabow inography her advertisg, and the rabow lored display which was shown at the openg ceremony for DPP mpaign headquarters. Promotnal rds for Tsai’s mpaign, forhadowg her eventual claratn of support for gay marriage. We might note further that the past year has seen the emergence of high profile, openly gay policians, though more often ndidat of third parti.

Social Democratic Party policians Miao Poya and Jennifer Lu are openly gay, Lu’s recent marriage havg been a wily celebrated event wh Taiwane civil society given Lu’s longtime history of activism and membership well-known LGBTQ advocy group Tongzhi Hotle. Ined, Taiwane civil society is generally supportive of gay marriage. Perhaps unsurprisgly, the prence of the Social Democratic Party was strong and proment members of the New Power Party and their supporters were also prent, roughly followg the pattern we have seen recent ralli support of gay marriage gog back to this summer.

This largely follows the stance of his precsor, Ma Yg-Jeou, who said siar non-statements about gay marriage attemptg to avoid the issue—beg far om supportg gay marriage, but not wantg to e down cidly agast a polarizg way eher.

Actually, is that the DPP is divid about the issue of gay marriage—hence why Tsai’s strong stance support of gay marriage is surprisg, makg to a signature aspect of her mpaign.

However, the prence of far-right Christian groups wh KMT supporters would have led elements of the party to exprs strong opposn to the legalizatn of gay marriage, cludg several ralli to fend the sancty of marriage which took place the last years. But if the KMT’s opposn to gay marriage is on the basis of the nservative valu embraced by the party wr large, apart om Christian groups whose opposn to gay marriage stems om relign, opposn is likely on the basis of the nservative disurse embraced by the party ncerng the reproductn of the natn on the basis of the heterosexual fay.

We might note that those elements of the DPP which are also opposed to gay marriage also do so on the basis of a natn nceived terms of the heterosexual fay—except, of urse, the natn is thought of as “Taiwan” rather than terms of the KMT’s “Republic of Cha. Neverthels, if is that Taiwan is often thought of as a “gay utopia” relative to other East Asian untri, is often bee Taiwan was earlier than other East Asian untri anizg pri activi. But however much Taiwan is touted as more liberal about gay rights relative to other Asian untri, tth is that Taiwan is still the se of much patriarchal disurse.
