2008年5月15日,美国加利福尼亚州高等法院宣判同性结婚合法。这是美国第二个认可同性婚姻合法的州。而在此之前,同性婚姻合法化的国家已有荷兰、比利时、加拿大和南非。对此,我们约请日本国立御茶水女子大学博士、厦门大学人文学院副教授林红就这一问题撰稿,发表看法。她认为,尽管同性恋、双性人等在社会中占的比重并不大,但对待性别少数人群的态度,反映出社会的性别文化以及对自由、生命的尊重与关爱。维护性少数人群的基本权利,已成为社会文明的标志和民主进程的一大趋势。本刊自第8期起刊载林红的系列文章《真正认识人类自己》,敬请关注。
On May 15, 2008, the High Court of California State of California declared the same-sex marriage legal. This is the second U.S. state that recognizes same-sex marriage. Previously, countries that legalized same-sex marriage included the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada and South Africa. In this regard, we invited Japan’s National Ochanomizu University Ph.D., Associate Professor of Humanities, Xiamen University, Lin Hong on the issue of this article, comment. In her opinion, although homosexuality and intersex people do not account for a large proportion of the society, the attitude towards the sexual minorities reflects the gender culture of society and the respect and love for freedom and life. Maintaining the fundamental rights of minority groups has become a hallmark of social civilization and a major trend in the democratic process. This issue has been published since the 8th series of articles by Lin Hong, “Real understanding of human beings,” so stay tuned.
