摘要: | 無論社會對同志的接受度多高,向原生家庭現身永遠是同志族群最困難的課題。當同性戀發生在自己的孩子身上,不管原先多麼開明的父母,都可能會回以激烈的反應。而同志也可能因為害怕家人不諒解自己,而裹足不前,遲遲不敢在家中現身。然出櫃雖是冒著引發家庭風暴的風險,卻從此不必再隱瞞性傾向;不出櫃雖能維持和平的假象,卻將懷抱著秘密壓抑自身的情慾。於是同志總為了「該不該現身」、「何時該現身」、「如何現身」等問題歷盡煎熬。一旦現身,卻又是另一場親子間的拉扯與矛盾。同志文學在九○年代進入了繁盛的發展階段,而家庭場域在同志小說中的頻頻出現,不僅顯示家庭對同志的影響力,亦表現出同志對家人的牽掛。本論文聚焦於九○年代同志小說中,觀察不同年代家庭場域的形象演變,並探討同志在現身前後的家庭處境及心路歷程。最後以同志文學在九○年代的書寫變革以及新發展的局面作結。
關鍵詞:同志、家人、出櫃
