Description of Our Community: Homosexuals are everywhere in the world. Besides, “homosexuality” has been a heated issue in the recent years. However, because of the researchers’ limited ability, the subject of the project is focused on the people who live in Taipei. Homosexuals are a group of people who fall in love with the person with the same gender. But, indeed, they are no different from heterosexuals except sex aptitude. It is only because of the different sex aptitude that homosexuals have long been disrespected and not recognized. Even worse, they have long been considered morbid! The project research is expected to share a different perspective on “homosexuality”, with the hope that what the homosexuals do can be justified. We sincerely wish that homosexuals would be treated nicely and equally in our society.

Project Description: Our society is getting more and more diversified. The reason why we choose “homosexuality” to be our project theme is that we want to know more about “the people” who have a very different sex aptitude from us. “When it comes to love, it has nothing to do with age or race, so the gender should not be a problem.” We came across the words and were inspired greatly. It is because that “homosexuality” has long been a taboo in the society since we were young kids. Homosexuals are always excluded from the society, not being respected or accepted. We agree with the words and want to know more about this group of people. In turn, we hope we can help them be accepted more so that they might not be isolated or looked down because of the traditional stereotypes. After all, homosexuals are a part of the society, and everyone in the society should be treated equally and shares the same right. In a diversified society, we should respect people who are somewhat different from us. We hope that we can help homosexuals be better known to the society with this project.
