Hello, everyone! I’m internet writer Moo
Today I’m going to discuss a serious topic with you guys
*Laugh*
Just kidding!
Actually it’s because Lexie said
I was too nervous and kept fidgeting in my last video
Watching it on the plane made her a little dizzy
So, I’m trying to be more serious today
You might get confused after seeing the title of this video
Why are there people who support marriage equality but won’t admit it?
Only homophobic groups like “Hu Jia Meng” or “FHL”
They always cover their faces and bodies in public
And won’t admit their discrimination against LGBT people
But the truth is…
People like this do exist
And today’s videos is for you guys
I saw the news a couple days ago
I wonder if you know in Young KMT,
There’s a diligent girl named Hsu Chiao-hsin
(Chiao-hsin, Chiao-hsin number one~)
Wait a minute! Don’t switch to another channel just because you heard KMT
There’s another person I want to introduce
She is the TAPCPR CEO, Victoria Hsu
*Claps and Cheers*
Well, they are not joining me today because they're both too busy
*Laugh*
So here’s the thing
Few years ago, Young KMT invited Victoria Hsu to the party headquarter
To explain the draft of “diversified family” (including same-sex marriage)
Hsu Chiao-hsin was hosting this event back then
But she knew KMT hold rather conservative attitudes toward this issue
In this high-pressure situation
She had to be really careful with her words
(White Terror!)
So here’s the point
If she actually supports same-sex marriage in her heart
Then why is there a need to be so nervous when she introduced the draft?
(The Martial Law Period!)
Actually, she told lawyer Victoria Hsu in private
Even some of the most conservative Christians in Taiwan have admitted privately that…
In Taiwan, the legalization of gay marriage is only a matter of time
So I've been thinking…
There must be a lot of people who have already had a standpoint
But couldn’t speak out because of many different reasons
So here's something I want to say to these people
I know some of you,
Because of work, family, religious or some other reasons
You support gay marriage but are too afraid to speak out
You don’t even have time to think it through
People just keep forcing you to oppose it
Or maybe you are a parent of a small kid
And there's a petition of FHL in your kid’s communication book
You haven’t read through it yet
But you are afraid that it might affect your kid’s school grades
Or affect the feelings among family members…blah blah blah
So you sign it
But, don't you find it a little strange?
You don’t really want to suck it up like this
But still too afraid to say something
Or you just want to hide in a safe corner
And wait for the day Taiwan suddenly becomes a better place
Our whole society will be super friendly to gay people
*Sigh*
I just want you to think about it
From all of the above,
Which is not one of the difficulties gay people are currently facing in Taiwan?
Things they can never speak out loud
Having trouble coming out
Can’t admit what they think is right
Worrying that once coming out,
They might disappoint their family, co-workers, superior or even lose the job
By contrast, your problems are only temporary
There are still many closeted gay people who are too afraid to speak
As long as social discrimination exists,
They will be haunted by these problems for a lifetime
Even have to deny their own existence
But, if you are willing to pay a little effort for what you truly support
Even a small breakthrough in life
Can become a strength to push the legalization of gay marriage
And if more people are willing to do this
Together we can become…
Something...to make the world a better place
(Two strength!)
Yeah, something like that
Um…What you can do is
When your uncle, aunt, or other family members send you those messages like
"Oppose same-sex marriage"
"Afraid of *** liberation"
"AIDS"
"***"
"Afraid of ***"
Or anything against marriage equality
You can try to discuss the reasons to oppose or support
Or before you sign any FHL…um…and other anti-gay marriage petitions
(Think three more minutes! You don’t have to do this)
Also, you can naturally share your thoughts during the conversations with family and friends
These breakthroughs are not that difficult
It won’t be any harder than gay people coming out
I always believe that between people
As long as you are willing to communicate, there’s a chance
I think this is the reason why Lexie and Lesbianingtogayther keep making videos
Finally!
If you are still watching this video
Any opinions
Or you just want to speak out for gay marriage
We welcome your comments
(I support gay marriage!!!!)
I don’t want to fight with you guys
But if you are really upset about what I said today
You can still…tell me about it
And maybe we can…have a conversation
At the end of this video
I just want to say…politics is everywhere
Even if you keep ignoring politics
Politics still affects your daily life anyway
So, say your opinions out loud
Just admit it
You do support gay marriage!
