伴隨著檢視1987-2020年間台灣性別政治演變的特色,本研究試圖找出這些研究年代期間台灣流行音樂中以同志議題為主題的代表性歌曲,透過專家學者選擇這些歌曲,進而以文本分析之質性研究方法解析各代表作品的意涵及特色。以流行歌曲下的同志情愛及平權為核心,可以看到流行音樂在下列幾個時期的演變:同志性向議題隱藏歌曲中的時期(1990-1995)、同志情愛議題正式萌芽出現的時期(1995-1998)、同志議題開始進入主流音樂的時期(1998-2007),近而以同志議題配合社會運動造成社會巨大改變的時期(2007-2020)。而這些代表性歌曲從暗示歌詞的情慾展現,到大膽唱出同志情愛,最後進化到流行音樂歌手正面力挺同志運動及同婚法案,這些都是亞洲國家流行文化成就同志平權難得出現的事實呈現,也造就以台灣流行音樂研究同志議題之特殊意義。
Along with examining the characteristics of the evolution of gender politics in Taiwan from 1987 to 2020, this research attempts to identify representative songs in Taiwan’s popular music during these research years with the theme of gay issues. With experts and scholars select these songs and then analyze the quality of the text. Sexual research methods analyze the meaning and characteristics of each representative work. With the core of homosexual love and equal rights in popular songs, we can see the evolution of popular music in the following periods: the period when the issue of homosexuality is hidden in the song (1990-1995), and the period when the issue of homosexuality officially emerged (1995- 1998), gay issues began to enter the period of mainstream music (1998-2007), and recently the period when gay issues were used in conjunction with social movements to cause great changes in society (2007-2020). These representative songs have evolved from implying the lust of the lyrics to boldly singing gay love, and finally evolved to popular music singers positively supporting the gay movement and the same marriage bill. These are the rare facts that the pop culture of Asian countries achieves gay equality. It also created the special significance of studying gay issues with Taiwan’s popular music.
