2017年5月24日,大法官認定民法限定一男一女的婚姻關係違憲。同婚即將合法,期盼台灣社會往進步價值邁進的民眾無一不為釋憲案歡呼、相互祝福。對同志伴侶潘世新和胡勝翔來說,卻更像一場殘酷倒數。
釋憲案公布前一天,47歲的潘世新確診罹患極特殊罕見疾病「脊椎巨大動脈血管瘤」。血管瘤造成肢體和認知功能迅速下降,確診後三個月,潘世新開始臥床。
然而立法院遲遲沒有修法動作,他和伴侶完婚的期待隨著立法會期經過而落空。180天過去,他們始終沒能正式成為合法夫夫。今年11月24日,正是潘世新對年的日子。他的伴侶胡勝翔和許多人仍在為婚姻平權頭疼,只因社會上還有人堅持,自己有「權力」決定別人結婚的「權利」;別人的感情可以是無人知曉的記憶。
家是什麼?婚姻豈止一紙單薄證明,人們相愛相伴、互給承諾,伴隨的更多課題,是生活的艱難、磨難與互相耗損,是生命中不可承受之重。但人人都該享有走進圍城的自由,因為在愛的面前,我們並無異同。
Founder of Taiwan Gender Queer Rights Advocacy Alliance and long-time LGBT rights activist, Pan Shi-xin, aka Lord, recently died at 47 years of age after complications from a giant spinal vascular tumor.
His 32-year-old gender-fluid partner Hu Sheng-xiang, aka Madam, stayed at Lord's side for the challenging last 180 days of his life, remaining true to his marriage vow - till death do us part.
In this episode, we discover what building a home means to LGBT people; why marriage equality isn't just a mere slogan but affects every facet of LGBT people's lives; and how, it's sometimes only in those last moments, that we can finally summon the courage to open our heart.
