This paper aims to disrupt both the “queer-free” phenomenon within local Hakka studies and the “Hakka-free” phenomenon within local queer studies. It calls for radical, yet complicated, queer politics inscribed by the intersectionality of gender, sexual, ethnic and urban-rural differences by rallying local Hakka male queers like me. By dint of telling our shameful, campy stories, we are determined to “queer” Hakka gender studies and to “racialize” local queer studies. The main questions looked into in this paper include: (1) How do we define Hakka male queers? (2) What is the socio-cultural context from which local Hakka queer activism arises? (3) How does kinship impinge upon gender/ sexual and ethnic identities among local Hakka male queers? (4) How do local Hakka male queers interact with those of other ethnic groups? (5) How does the intersectionality of gender, sexual, ethnic and urban-rural performativities and politics among local Hakka male queers impact upon both local queer and Hakka communities? (6) How does the Hakka language influence identity formation among local Hakka male queers? This paper employs a qualitative approach by adopting a combination of online text analysis and offline indepth interview. |
