揮動彩虹旗：慶祝台灣同性婚姻合法要聽的歌單

台灣人民成功爭取到同性婚姻合法化，大家可以真真正正在亞洲這個寶島上看到彩虹旗飄揚！當然，慶祝這個日子有很多方法，聽歌是其中一種，現在就和大家再次分享這個歌單，聽聽她 / 他們的歌，期待彩虹旗能有朝一天在世界每個角落都能自豪地揮動。 撰文：林貓王

這是 2013 年寫的一篇舊文。

我很感動，2019 年 5 月 17 日，台灣成為亞洲第一個同婚合法化的國家。（畢竟舊部落格也灰飛煙滅了，把這篇文章挖出來，當作是慶祝吧）

Rufus Wainwright  — 〈 Montauk 〉

One day you will come to Montauk
And see your dad playing the piano
And see your other dad wearing glasses
Hope that you will want to stay
For a while
Don’t worry, I know you’ll have to go

It has come to our attention that our music has been used without our permission in a promotional advert by the Croatian organisation “U ime obitelji”. We wish to state that we didn’t, and would never, approve the use of our music by this organisation. To be clear, we unconditionally support the equal right to marriage regardless of sexuality. xx The xx.

重點：無條件支持各種性別的婚姻。

The xx  — 〈 Brave For You 〉

Jónsi 相關報導：

Only coming out when he was 21, Jónsi found it difficult to be a gay youth in Iceland. After accepting himself, his artistic side flourished, and he started writing the beautiful material that I love to listen to. Through touring with his various musical projects, he’s visited gay clubs in big cities, intimidated by the immense size of the different gay scenes in all these huge metropolises. In an interview with gay magazine Attitude, Jónsi admits being infatuated with the gay culture, femmy boys and draq queens, which seems pretty cosmopolitan for what Jónsi seems like.

重點：21歲青年發現在冰島當同性戀也很困難。

Jónsi  —〈  Go Do 〉

Discovery feat. Deradoorian  — 〈 I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend 〉

Rostam Batmanglij 表示：

So then in college, at some point I realized that I was gay, and I was comfortable with saying that. It was only after college that I decided that I wanted to tell my parents. I think my parents were surprised. And that surprise led them to acting, or being, somewhat confused. I think the surprise probably came out of the fact that I hadn’t talked very much about how I felt until that moment. I was very guarded. But then over the years, this is about four years ago now, my parents have become totally supportive. They really understand me.

I think when it came time to come out publicly, you know, [to] talk about being gay in the press, about the band, initially they didn’t really understand that either. But once I kind of explained what I was doing, and why I was doing it, they — I guess I would say that there was certainly an evolution. And, that evolution has helped us be more communicative. I would even say, with regards to parents, the sooner that you come out, the better. I just got to a point where I literally called my mom on the phone and said, “Mom, I’m gay.” I think that the sooner that you break down that initial wall, and you begin communicating.

重點：讀完大學後決定告訴媽媽，剛開始媽媽很難接受，現在還可以跟她開玩笑：「 媽！我是 Gay！」

Kele  — 〈 Everything You Wanted 〉

同樣來自 Kele，與我心目中的混音之王 RAC 合作的年度必備單曲

RAC  —〈  Let Go ft. Kele, MNDR 〉

Kele Okereke 表示：

In Nigeria… there weren’t any visible gay people who were out and were happy. My parents are getting older and I didn’t like the idea that they could possibly die without knowing something that is a big part of my life. It’s not easy. But I know that they love me and I love them.

重點：在奈及利亞，同性戀很少公開出櫃，我爸媽都老了，我不想他們到死都不知道…

Tegan And Sara  — 〈 Shudder To Think 〉

Tegan & Sara 表示：

I feel like no matter what the decision is and what happens, there’s been this overwhelming, really positive mainstream support of gay marriage. Whether the decision comes down in our favor and California ends up overturning Prop 8 or not, I feel we’re getting closer, closer and closer and I think it’s important to really celebrate the small steps which are happening right now that add up to one giant step.

I remember us talking last time, about the fact that I’ve never really been a marriage person. Sara and I were raised in a common law household, my mom and stepfather never got married. So it’s strange to have all of this pressure all of a sudden.

重點：幸好同性婚姻法案有很多朋友支持，我覺得我們就快達成了！

Gossip  — 〈 Move in the Right Direction 〉

Beth Ditto 表示：（ 還有這段爆可愛的短片聲明支持同性婚姻 ）

We just always kind of knew that we were always in love. It’s blissful, I think. It’s really sweet and perfect. I feel like it’s like so simple that it’s a miracle. I feel like Dan and Roseanne.

I was born to be married. I love the idea of being partnered forever. There’s not a thing we haven’t been through except for marriage.

重點：我生來就是要結婚的，我支持同性婚姻法案，因為我想嫁給誰就嫁誰，不關你家的事！

Goldfrapp  —  〈 Happiness 〉

Alison Goldfrapp 表示：

I think of everything as being about a person and a relationship, and I am in a wonderful relationship with a wonderful person. It just happens to be with a lady…

重點：我把事情想作是「 一個人 」跟「 一段感情 」，只是剛好對象是女生罷了...

Sia  —〈  Day Too Soon 〉

Sia Furler 訪談：

Sia Furler is mad about the fact that she can’t marry her girlfriend in her adopted home state of New York — and she has a distinctly downunder way of expressing it. “It’s totally bum,” she exclaims, in her broad Australian twang. “It’s real bum… that was eloquent!

重點：Sia 很生氣她不能在紐約跟女友結婚！

Patrick Wolf  — 〈 The Magic Position 〉

Patrick Wolf 表示：

I decided we should both propose to each other. And he proposed to me in London and I proposed to him in Florida at the lighthouse, and it was important that it was an equal proposal not an archaic ‘man sweeping the woman off her feet and putting her in a domestic situation for the rest of their life’. It’s two men coming together with two different lives and making them into one.

重點：我們決定要彼此都跟對方求婚，地點在…（ 也太甜蜜… ）

The Drums  — 〈 I Don’t Know How To Love 〉

Jonathan Pierce 表示：

The problem we run into here is they believe it is their duty, as instructed by God and The Bible, to preach the word of God. Because that’s what The Bible says to do. And if they are not doing that, then they are sinning, and sinners go to hell. So they constantly live in fear of the flames of hell, and it drives them to fight against things like same-sex marriage.

And I know there are a lot of casual Christians out there who have like a gay friend who works in an office with them and think “Oh, Jim’s not that bad.” But there’s this whole other world that I come from, where you are condemned to hell and there’s nothing you can do about it if you’re a homosexual. I’ve had my mother tell me that she would prefer me to live my life as a single man, celibate, than to have a gay partner. And I just say, “Mom, that’s so easy for you to say, because you were born straight. And you liked guys, and started dating one, and you married one! And you just have no idea what it’s like.”

They are afraid to even begin to put themselves in my shoes, because the second they begin to feel compassion toward what they call my “problem” or my “struggle,” then they’re kind of sinning, and enabling. So they really have this ice-cold stance against it.

重點：出身宗教家庭的他深刻感受到，「 罪惡 」的原意被曲解，導致教徒不接受同性婚姻。

Deerhunter  —〈  Memory Boy 〉

Bradford Cox 表示：

I have no interest in the bourgeois life of growing up, getting married, and having kids… I don’t relate to heterosexuality at all. I don’t relate to the couples who come to our shows and hold hands while they watch us. [However] I have a lot of respect for the people who like us because it’s challenging music.

重點：我沒有興趣結婚。

The Magnetic Fields  — 〈 Andrew in Drag 〉

Stephin Merritt 訪談：

I’m talking about gay rights.

Uh, what about them? Do we know that there’s any correlation between gay marriage and teen suicide?

Fair enough. But many wonder if gay marriage were accepted, that could be more of an impetus for people to accept same-sex relationships.

Why speculate? There either is or there isn’t [a correlation]. It shouldn’t be all that hard to find out because teen suicide is, fortunately, actually rare.

Hidden Cameras —〈 Boys of Melody 〉（ 音樂 00:28 開始 ）

Perfume Genius  —〈  Hood 〉

Antony & The Johnsons  —〈  For Today I Am A Boy 〉

同場加映，超椎心的情歌：

Antony and the Johnsons  —〈  I Fell In Love With a Dead Boy 〉

Antony Hegarty 表示：

It’s like gay rights, as if gay marriage is the end point, as if we just want to be included in these business-as-usual institutions. That’s not the point of being queer, just as mitigated reproductive rights aren’t the point of being a woman. We want to move this forward. Do something great… overturn all these failed male structures of thinking, all this aggression in decision-making.

重點：我希望同性婚姻不是同志運動的終點，我們要再走下去。
