你知道中國只有5%同性戀者這麼做嗎？

Coming Out to My Parents in China by Video
我用一段影片向遠在中國的父母出櫃
❤️Before showing her parents a video she had prepared, Mengwen Cao had faith that they would understand. Still, she considered the implications of what she was about to reveal. “‘Saving face’ is an important aspect of Chinese culture,” she explained. “The stigma of being queer prevents people to come out.”
在給父母看自己準備的影片之前，曹夢雯相信他們是會理解的。儘管如此，她還是考慮了自己透露的祕密意味著什麼。「『要面子』是中國文化的一個重要方面，」她解釋說。「對酷兒群體的歧視讓人難以出櫃。」
👩❤️👩Although L.G.B.T.Q. rights in China have come a long way in the past few years, largely thanks to social activism, estimates show that only 5 percent of China’s gay community is fully out. And there are few protections for China’s L.G.B.T.Q. community regarding reproductive rights or marriage.
儘管在過去幾年中，LGBTQ權利在中國取得了長足進步——這主要得益於社會運動，但據估計，只有5%的中國同性戀者屬於徹底出櫃。中國的LGBTQ群體在生育權和婚姻方面的保護微乎其微。
👨❤️👨 “China is still not a very welcoming environment for queer people to come out,” Ms. Cao said. Still, she felt she could not be truly close with her parents if they did not know and, after making her video, called them on FaceTime from New York.
「對酷兒群體來說，中國不是一個十分友好的出櫃環境，」曹夢雯說。儘管如此，她仍感覺父母如果還不知情，自己就無法與他們真正親近。在製作了影片後，她在紐約向他們發起了FaceTime通話。
父母最後究竟有什麼反應？
為什麼出櫃叫 coming out?
