記者許逸羣臺北報導

義大利藝人韋佳德臺約5年,除了任教擔任大學教授外,也時常在節目中分享各國文化。他27日於粉絲團發佈力挺臺灣多元成家影片,「家庭是什麼?對我來說,家庭是個溫馨,溫暖,有愛的地方。不管由誰而組成。身爲老外的我不想幹涉臺灣的政策,但是我想表達我自己的看法。」

熱愛臺灣的他,前後發表過許多文章,包含鼓勵臺灣人支持自己的文化、稱讚臺灣的計程車業,以及呼籲臺灣人別熬夜傷肝評論,先前也曾於節目中探討「出櫃話題。此回他分享對於多元成家的看法,直言:「臺灣已經是一個很棒的地方,但是如果要走上國際舞臺的話,還有一大段路,而大家觀念及想法也不能被侷限住。」

「Gay(同性戀)又怎麼樣,straight(異性戀)又怎麼樣?大家都一樣是人,只不過是愛的方向不同而已。」他坦言,不敢置信還有許多人彷彿活在19世紀中,認爲人有階級之分、甚至歧視他人,「我有時候不瞭解爲什麼都已經21世紀了,還有人用gay、死娘炮,這些字眼來歧視他人。」呼籲大家要站在別人的立場着想,並且富有同理心。

他呼籲大家不要讓別人影響自己,「不要害怕。不要讓別人影響到自己。做自己,愛自己,把自己想說的話大聲地說出來。做自己,愛自己,把自己想說的話大聲地說出來。」發文後也獲得許多網友分享認同。

This is Skanda.今天,這部影片是爲了公開支持「多元成家」。I want to show my support for the draft bill for family diversity.家庭是什麼?What is family?對我來說,家庭是個溫馨,溫暖,有愛的地方。不管由誰而組成。To me family is a warm place in your heart filled with love. No matter how that family is comprised.身爲老外的我不想幹涉臺灣的政策,但是我想表達我自己的看法。As a foreigner I do not intend to interfere with Taiwan policies, but I do have the right to express my opinion.臺灣已經是一個很棒的地方,但是如果要走上國際舞臺的話,還有一大段路,而大家的觀念及想法也不能被侷限住。Taiwan is already a great place to live. However, in order to walk on the international stage, there is still a long way to go. People’s thoughts and ideas should not be so constricted.我想在這邊真心真意地感謝這兩年來公開支持「多元成家」的藝人好友謝謝你們勇敢站出來。謝謝你們大聲支持人權。I would like to thank those who have publicly supported this draft bill over the last two years. Thank you for your courage. Thank you for supporting human rights. 雖然同性戀者並不是唯一關注這個草案族羣,但是對於同志朋友意義重大。Although this law is not just about same-sex couples, it is most certainly of vital importance to all LGBT people.很多時候說話不要太超過。要站在別人的立場爲對方着想,並且要有同理心。我有時候不瞭解爲什麼都已經21世紀了,還有人用gay、死娘炮,這些字眼來歧視他人。And there are others who should think before condemning. Instead, try to stand in other people’s shoes, show some empathy. I really don’t understand. This is the 21st century and people are still using words like gay and faggot to discriminate. Gay又怎麼樣,straight又又怎麼樣?大家都一樣是人,只不過是愛的方向不同而已只要心裡有愛,包容不同想法行爲模式的他人,蒼穹之星將閃爍得亮一點,不是嗎?So what if you are gay? So what if you are straight? We are all human beings and there are many kinds of love. Let love into your heart, learn to be considerate of other lifestyles, and the stars of the Firmament will shine all the brighter, right?我真的不敢相信,還有這麼多人活在彷彿今天還是19世紀一樣,可以歧視他人,好像人有階級之分,世界上還有這麼多值得大家關注的事,把自己的心裡充滿多一份愛,世界就會多一點美。I just can’t believe so many people behave as if they were still in the 19th century and feel that they are entitled to discriminate against others, that they can choose who is worthy and who is not. There are so many other things in the world that need attention. Choose love instead of hate and the world will be a better place. 十月是同志大遊行。希望今年所有參加的人,除了享受歡樂時光之外, 也可以勇敢用自己的方式表達出自己的愛,讓臺灣真正地跟上世界的步伐。This coming October, Taiwan LGBT Pride will again be taking place. I hope that this year all the participants, will not only enjoy all of the celebrations, but also will have the courage to openly express their love, helping to make sure that Taiwan is on the right side of history.我愛臺灣,也希望寶島是真正充滿愛的一個地方。I love Taiwan. I hope that this beautiful island may brim with love. 不要害怕。不要讓別人影響到自己。做自己,愛自己,把自己想說的話大聲地說出來。Don’t be scared, don’t let other people’s opinions affect you. 做自己,愛自己,把自己想說的話大聲地說出來。Be yourself, love yourself, speak your heart out, loud and proud.Be yourself, love yourself, always.P.S. 這個影片我是在上正音課之前所錄製的,敬請大家原諒我的怪腔怪調。重點是訊息的內容。 謝謝幫忙轉發分享出去。臺灣性別平等教育協會 Tgeea (Taiwan Gender Equity Education Association)臺灣同志遊行聯盟 Taiwan LGBT Pride臺灣同志諮詢熱線臺灣同志家庭權益促進會臺灣同志家庭權益促進會臺灣同志諮詢熱線 南部辦公室Age Of Queer 酷時代同志新聞報導同志公民 Out & VoteETtoday分享雲ETtoday新聞雲ETtoday星光蘋果日報即時新聞蘋果娛樂新聞Yahoo!奇摩新聞蘋果日報自由時報評論網壹週刊壹週刊TVBS 新聞
