阿凯 and 里欧 created the YouTube channel '夫夫之道' in 2016 to advocate for gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights. They wanted to use their platform to share their experiences as a gay couple and to provide a voice for those in the LGBTQ+ community who are unable to come out publicly. Their goal was to promote understanding and acceptance through their content.
The book 《不OK的我們也很好》 documents 阿凯 and 里欧's journey as a couple, including how they met, their conflicts, and how they worked through challenges. It serves as a reflection of their growth and the lessons they’ve learned over their 9-year relationship. The book also highlights their commitment to repairing and strengthening their bond rather than giving up when faced with difficulties.
阿凯 and 里欧 first met in 2016 through a LINE group for gay graduate students. 阿凯 noticed 里欧 because he was very active in the group, sharing both academic and personal content. Their first in-person meeting occurred during a group outing to a night market in Taoyuan, where they began to develop a deeper connection.
阿凯 and 里欧 included their relationship struggles in their book to show that no relationship is perfect and that it’s normal to face challenges. They wanted to share how they navigated conflicts and worked together to improve their relationship, offering insights and encouragement to others who may be going through similar experiences.
The turning point for 里欧 after experiencing bullying was when he started volunteering at social welfare organizations. Seeing others who faced even greater challenges inspired him to shift his perspective and focus on helping others. This experience helped him overcome the trauma of bullying and find a sense of purpose and self-worth.
During the marriage equality referendum in 2018, 阿凯 and 里欧 faced backlash and negative comments on their social media platforms. They chose to respond with kindness and love, often replying with positive messages like 'We love you.' They also focused on educating those who misunderstood LGBTQ+ issues by providing accurate information and resources.
阿凯 and 里欧 participated in the 'Future Big People' initiative to bring more visibility to gender equality issues. They wanted to use their platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and to show that gender equality is an important part of achieving broader societal goals. Their participation also helped them gain recognition and support for their advocacy work.
阿凯 and 里欧's relationship evolved from being a couple focused on their individual struggles to a partnership with a shared mission to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. Over the years, they learned to communicate better, support each other, and navigate challenges together. Their relationship became stronger as they worked towards common goals and continued to grow both personally and as a couple.

▲本集內容 同志伴侶 Youtuber「夫夫之道」的阿凱和里歐,頻道是透過劇場以及各種不同單元的方式,來分享關於性別平權、多元性別等議題的各自觀點。另外,「夫夫之道」也是我們關鍵評論網媒體集團2022年的「未來大人物」。 最近他們出版了一本書《不OK的我們也很好》,書中分享了他們如何認識、交往、衝突、討論的各種過程。 這集主要也就是在聊他們兩人相知相處的各種過程。他們交往至今的故事,並不只是一對同志伴侶相處的故事,更是兩人從研究所開始,交往至今9年的故事,並不只是一對同志伴侶相處的故事,更多的是兩個年輕人他們自我剖析的想法、還有對於關係的理解,以及如何分享開心和不開心的過程。 我覺得這一集大部分都是很歡樂的,但是中間也有比較沉重的過程,包含了里歐被霸凌,以及兩位如何對已故的父親出櫃的想法。我一直覺得,父親對兒子、母親對女兒是比較複雜的情感,這一段,我自己也收穫很多。 溫馨提醒,這一集也有一些可能會比較令人不舒服的內容,如果是家長帶小孩收聽,或是有些情感壓力的聽眾,可以斟酌收聽。 ▲本集使用的音樂:Impressions (Acoustic) by Robert Alan DunnCreative Commons CC BY SA 3.0Robert-dunn-15 – Impressions-acoustic
