Abstract

Abstract In 2019, Taiwan became the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage (SSM). This article considers the social movement strategies and relational dynamics of three activist groups in the year leading to the landmark SSM legislation, respectively representing the “yes,” “no,” and “alternative” agendas in the public debates and social mobilization around the issue of equal marriage rights. Through a critical study of the three cases, this article examines how various campaigners shaped local SSM discourses and mobilized people to support, oppose, and question marriage equality, focusing on their social mobilization strategies and inter-group relational dynamics under Taiwan's political and legal structures. In so doing, it proposes a hybrid theoretical model to understand complex social movement and countermovement relations and dynamics.
台湾同性婚姻立法:社会运动策略与关系动态
摘要2019年,台湾成为亚洲第一个同性婚姻合法化的国家。本文考虑了三个活动家团体在制定具有里程碑意义的SSM立法的一年中的社会运动策略和关系动态,分别代表了围绕平等婚姻权利问题的公共辩论和社会动员中的“是”、“否”和“替代”议程。本文通过对这三个案例的批判性研究,探讨了台湾在政治和法律结构下,不同的运动者如何塑造地方SSM话语,动员人们支持、反对和质疑婚姻平等,重点探讨了他们的社会动员策略和群体间的关系动态。在这样做的过程中,它提出了一个混合的理论模型来理解复杂的社会运动和反运动的关系和动力学。
