This book explores the narratives of heterosexuality that emerged during Taiwan’s same-sex marriage debate, culminating in the landmark legalization of same-sex marriage in 2019.

Drawing on official transcripts from public hearings, forums and deliberative discussions, it treats the debate as a process of sense-making, and places heterosexuality at the centre of analysis.

Organized around themes of love, tradition, the heterosexual self and family practices, this book offers a fresh perspective on how heterosexuality is contested, negotiated and potentially remade in contemporary Taiwan.
