Title: | LGBT rights versus Asian values: De/re-constructing the universality of human rights | Authors: | PO-HAN LEE | Keywords: | Asia as method | Asian values | Cultural relativism | Human rights | LGBT rights | Universality | Issue Date: | 2-Oct-2016 | Publisher: | ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Journal Volume: | 20 | Journal Issue: | 7 | Start page/Pages: | 978 | Source: | International Journal of Human Rights | Abstract: | © 2016 Informa UK Limited. Law, especially from the international human rights regime, is a direct reference on which minority groups rely when it comes to ‘non-discrimination’. Drawing upon LGBT rights in Taiwan, as well as Hong Kong and Singapore, this article – through an application of K.H. Chen’s (2010) Asia as Method – critically reviews how global LGBT politics interact with local societies influenced by Confucianism. Along a perpetual competition between the universalism and cultural relativism of human rights, this article not only identifies the pitfalls of ‘Asian values’ from a cosmopolitan perspective but also contributes to a queered approach to human rightsholders against homonationalism. |
