How do you know you are a #crocodile living among humans? Do you wake up one day and voila? Do you let others define you as such? Is it gradual? #qiumiaojin gives us her take on a few crocodiles living in #taipei Quickly in the story you realize the #metaphor translates to a group of #gays #lesbians and #biliving in the city around the 90s. Their lives are driven by desires and uncontrollable feelings which are restricted by both tradition and their own internal fears. I think with this month’s #pride festivities and #taiwan so close to #marriageequalityit’s the perfect time to read these mind tales and the intimate story of Miaojin. After achieving so much and moving forward on these issues, let’s not forget all the pain, misery and death that #homophobia and discrimination created and continues to among and within so many people. #notesofacrocodile#taiwaneseliterature #lgbt #邱妙津#taiwanese #unapologetically #鱷魚手記#queer #misfits
