去年我也回來參加了遊行，現在我的母校甚至有 LGBTQ+ 社團，而且看起來他們的成員有二三十人。這個過程真的很令人讚歎。
我想那也是我為什麼會一直都對這些事情很樂觀。我是真的認為那些保守的人可以有一天瞭解我們是誰，為什麼我們想要爭取這些東西；也就是其他所有人都有的權利。」

「I feel like I don’t know what to do and where to go to make it better」

「That depends. Do you think this vote happened because the LGBTQ+ plus community and their allies in Taiwan got complacent and didn't vote? Or is it because large group of people in Taiwan are bigoted and wanted to make things even more complicated for LGBTQ+ people? Kind of a simplistic way of stating that, but l think you get my point.」

「I think it's the latter. Most people are still quite conservative」

「That's going to be a lot harder to fight. The only thing I've seen work is grassroots movements that try and change the culture from the bottom up. It's a lot harder for people to fear other people, than it is for them to fear nebulous ideas of what they think the LGBTQ+ community is.

I've seen this in my own community in the US. I grew up in a really small mountain town. I was one of 3 people who were out during highschool. We definitely got a lot of shit from people. Lot of hate speech, and even violence, used against us. But we still kept proud. We would March together during our towns parades with a rainbow flag.

We would make it a point to shake everyone's hands that we could. That way they could see we were good people, and not strangers.

I was here for the parade last year, and now there is even a LGBTQ+ Alliance at my old highschool. Looks like they have around 25-30 members. That progress was amazing to see.

I guess that's why I'm always optimistic about these things...I genuinely think that even conservative people can be made to understand who we are, and why we want what we want; IE the same rights as anyone else.」

完全正确，只有草根的自下而上的组织运动才有可能改变社会。

這位朋友真是精闢，不愧是長期參與運動的人士

真的非常值得參考!!!!
