"Lesbian" wedding via live streaming: despite the blessing of both parents, the official registration of marriage is still out of reach - Sohu News

濟南舉行女同性戀直播婚禮 獲父母祝福但法律認可遙遙無期

In today's society, love takes many forms and is no longer limited to traditional heterosexual relationships. In recent years, with increased awareness of gender equality and the rights of sexual minorities, homosexual marriage is gradually being accepted and discussed in society. However, in many countries and regions, homosexual marriage is still facing both legal and social challenges. Today, we will share a special story of a lesbian wedding in Jinan, China, which not only received blessings from both parents, but also aroused widespread concern and discussion on the Internet.

這場婚禮的主角是娜娜(化名)和後後(化名),她們在2016年9月11日舉行了一場特別的婚禮。這場婚禮被稱為濟南第一對「拉拉(女同性戀,又稱女同)」的婚禮,並通過網路平台進行了直播。儘管這場婚禮在法律上無法獲得認可,但它意外地收到了一邊倒的祝福,顯示出社會對於同性戀婚姻態度的逐漸轉變。

婚禮當天,「@同性戀親友會」的微博上轉播了這場盛大的婚禮。娜娜和後後在雙方父母和親朋好友的祝福中迎來了這來之不易的婚禮。婚禮現場,這對愛人分享了她們一起走過的風雨路程,並在最美的彩虹下,牽手走進了婚姻的殿堂。儘管現場照片大多未露臉,但從照片中可以感受到現場濃厚的幸福氛圍。

娜娜在婚禮後的回應中表示,她們的婚禮其實很平淡,她們只是想做自己力所能及的事情,幫助身邊的人。她認為,無論是同性戀還是異性戀,都沒有什麼區別,因此她不覺得自己的婚禮有什麼特別之處。對於進一步的採訪,娜娜予以婉拒,她解釋說,一方面是擔心影響到後後的父母,另一方面她認為只是簡單結個婚,和愛的人在一起就好。

The organization of this wedding has not only overturned the traditional perception over the years, but also reflected the gradual change in society's attitude towards gay marriage. According to a survey report released by renowned gay rights advocate Li Yinhe, as early as 2006, only 27% of the respondents supported gay marriage, while around 2011, the proportion of respondents who supported the legalization of gay marriage had increased significantly. This change in concepts and perceptions appears to be a subtle process.

However, despite the changing social attitudes, Nana and Hau Hau's wedding can only be a "formal marriage" because the current law does not provide for the registration of same-sex marriages. The Social Affairs Department of the Jinan Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau responded that they have not encountered any same-sex applications for registration of marriages so far. The embarrassment of this reality highlights the challenges still faced by the rights of same-sex marriage at the legal level.

Through the stories of Nana and Hou Hou, we see the diversity and inclusiveness of love and the gradual change in society's attitude towards gay marriage. However, more efforts and advocacy are needed to achieve legal recognition of gay marriage. It is hoped that in the future, every couple will be able to freely express their love and build a happy future together with the support of the law and society.
