The reason behind Cai Kangyong's appearance and Shen Boyang's campaign was exposed. He has carried out a heavy mission for 25 years to stand up for comrades.

Commander D, a gay bar in Ximending, Taipei, was searched by the police earlier this month. During the process, inappropriate words and deeds of police officers were revealed, sparking social discussion on gay rights. Cai Kangyong accepted "Hey!" hosted by Wang Weizhong today (29th). Where did I say it? 》Exclusive interview, he admitted that this incident was one of the reasons why he appeared in the campaign.

In 2001, Cai Kangyong publicly came out as gay on the "Little Sister Wen Qian" program. Although Li Ao was the substitute host of the episode, he did not dodge and admitted that he was gay on the spot. The news made the front page of the newspaper the next day, causing an uproar. Now 25 years later, he recalls that he did not deliberately plan to come out as gay, but just answered truthfully when asked questions. Unexpectedly, he has since become a very representative outing artist in the Chinese entertainment industry. He admitted that at that time, he might have disappeared from the media circle because of this, but he also shouldered the outside world's expectations for gay public figures.

In an exclusive interview, Wang Weizhong said that he was an "old straight man" who grew up under traditional concepts. In the past, he gradually learned about gay issues through Cai Kangyong. Cai Kangyong said that the outside world often thinks that he can remain calm in the face of the malicious intentions of strangers online because he has a particularly open-minded personality. However, for him, who grew up as a gay, malicious intentions are no longer unfamiliar. He believes that when a person's sexual orientation and way of existence may be affected by social norms and political environment, it is impossible to completely stay out of politics.

Talking about the police raid on the gay bar in Ximending, Cai Kangyong pointed out that after years of hard work, society has finally gradually no longer regarded homosexuals as a dirty group. If one day they go back to the past, he cannot pretend that he has nothing to do with it. He said: "As a homosexual, even the foundation of my existence will be dug up." He even asked: "If you don't care, are you going to let 17- and 8-year-old children be oppressed to death?" He expressed his concern for the situation of young gays.

In fact, the bar incident occurred on the 3rd of this month. The police stated that they were conducting a search with a ticket in accordance with the law after receiving a report. However, the law enforcement process was questioned by gender equality groups, and the police later punished some police officers due to inappropriate words and behaviors. The incident has made the gay community once again focus on how to strike a balance between law enforcement and human rights protection. What Tsai Kangyong was concerned about in the interview was whether the social understanding accumulated over the years may be reversed overnight.

Wang Weizhong also mentioned that many comrades have told him that when parents are worried about their children's future after they come out, they will use Cai Kangyong as an example and tell their families, "Cai Kangyong, you are living a good life." This sentence made Cai Kangyong feel a heavy responsibility. He believed that he must work hard to live well so that he could convince young people and their parents that disclosing their sexual orientation does not mean the destruction of life.
