【聯合聲明】絕不容許重演歷史的壓迫:北市府應徹查萬華分局搜索同志店家爭議
[JOINT STATEMENT] Historical Oppression Must Not Repeat: Taipei City Government Must Conduct a Thorough Investigation into the Wanhua Police Precinct Search Controversy at LGBTQ+ Venues(Scroll down for the English version)
我們的五項具體訴求:
- 針對執法過當、違反程序與人格羞辱,立即啓動獨立調查,公開說明並懲處道歉。
- 萬華分局應完整保存並公開可依法揭露的執法紀錄。
- 臺北市政府應建立同志與多元性別場所執法準則。
- 市府應將多元性別與身心障礙等弱勢群體的平等權益,納入警方的執法、考核與究責等制度中。
- 警方與媒體應停止以污名化方式描述同志場所與同志情慾文化。
搜索票不應成為侵害人權的空白授權
針對 10 月 3 日臺北市政府警察局萬華分局進入西門町男同志 BDSM 主題酒吧執行搜索,據現場多名目擊民眾指出,警方拒絕將搜索票出示給現場受查驗民眾,要求所有人蹲下、不得交談與使用手機,出現歧視身心障礙者及羞辱性言語,並強行將數十名民眾帶回警局做筆錄。這些搜索過程中的執法過當、違反程序、高傲態度與粗暴言行,作為關心與推動同志社群權益的民間團體,我們對此表達最嚴正的關切與強烈抗議。
警方表示,本案是經檢方指揮並持法院核發搜索票執行;然而,搜索票的存在絕不代表警方得以忽略程序正義、比例原則、人格尊嚴及平等對待。即使執法機關有偵辦特定案件的必要,也必須在法律授權的邊界內,以最小侵害方式進行,並保障在場每一位民眾理解執法依據、維護自身權益與免於歧視敵意、人格羞辱的基本權利。對於現場民眾提出的程序與歧視疑慮,市府與警政單位不應以「依法執行」一句帶過,而應啟動具公信力、可受檢驗的調查。相關執法爭議及警方回應已引起社會高度關注。
這不是單獨事件,是同志社群的歷史創傷
對同志社群而言,這起事件絕非單純的個案,也不是可以被抽離其歷史脈絡,只以「治安」或「妨害風化」語言處理的執法行動。
二、三十年前,同志店家、同志聚會場所與同志社群長期處在警方監控、臨檢、突襲、騷擾與污名的陰影下。許多人曾因其性傾向、性別氣質、親密關係與情慾生活,被視為可疑、淫亂、不正當,甚至被剝奪安全聚會與自在生活的空間。如此透過警方的公權力壓迫與侵害,也並非遙遠的歷史記憶,去年(2025年)10月,也發生臺中市政府警察局第六分局持搜索票,進入男同志店家盤查與扣押的侵權事件,該店家最後也被迫歇業。
今日,當一間長期提供特定性文化交流空間的店家,再次遭遇大規模搜索、現場顧客被集中盤查,且遭到警方歧視、羞辱與威嚇的經驗時,同志社群感受到的,不只是一次執法行動,而是過往被國家權力侵擾與壓迫的集體記憶被重新喚起。
台灣已走過性別平等教育、同性婚姻與多元性別可見度逐漸提升的歷程;然而,制度進步不應只停留在法律與口號。若執法人員仍以異性戀中心、性別二元、情慾與道德恐慌的框架看待同志場所、同志性文化、同志社群的親密與性自主權,便顯示平權仍未真正進入第一線執法現場。
教育訓練絕不足以回應制度問題
我們必須清楚指出:臺北市政府不能只停留在「加強警方多元性別教育訓練」的層次。
教育訓練固然必要,但本案所揭露的問題,並非僅是個別員警「不了解同志」或「說錯話」而已,而是涉及執法程序是否正當、現場強制力是否合乎比例原則、對當事人權益是否有充分保障,以及警方是否帶著對多元性別、同志情慾、BDSM 社群與身心障礙者的歧視性敵意進入執法現場。
如果市府只以一次講座、幾小時課程或內部宣導作為回應,就會將制度性問題個人化、技術化,也無法阻止類似事件再次發生。臺北市政府必須提出更積極、可具體落實、且可追蹤的政策,讓警察執法不再成為同志社群必須承受恐懼與羞辱的來源。
我們的訴求
身為關心與推動同志社群權益的民間團體,我們針對侵犯同志權益的臺北市政府,有以下五點具體訴求:
- 針對執法過當、違反程序與人格羞辱,立即啓動獨立調查,公開說明並懲處道歉。
針對搜索票出示與告知情形、現場盤查與強制措施的必要性及比例性、強行將數十名民眾帶回警局做筆錄的理由、對身心障礙者及在場民眾是否有歧視或羞辱性言詞,以及是否涉及其他程序瑕疵、執法過當,我們強烈要求臺北市政府立即啓動獨立且具外部監督機制的調查,並將調查結果對外公開說明,進行必要懲處並向受害民眾正式道歉。
- 萬華分局應完整保存並公開可依法揭露的執法紀錄。
包括密錄器、監視器、勤務紀錄、搜索與盤查紀錄、現場指揮鏈與人員配置等資料,接受外部檢驗;不可由警察機關自行調查、自行結案。
- 臺北市政府應建立同志與多元性別場所執法準則。
明確規範警方進入同志酒吧、性別友善空間或其他少數社群聚會空間時,應如何出示與說明法律依據、保障隱私、避免暴露個人性傾向或性別身分、落實最小侵害原則,以及確保當事人可行使救濟與申訴權利。
- 市府應將多元性別與身心障礙等弱勢群體的平等權益,納入警方的執法、考核與究責等制度中。
只辦理教育訓練遠遠不足,而應建立明確的歧視言行認定、申訴處理、懲處與改善機制;對於具有歧視敵意、羞辱性語言或濫用強制力的執法人員,應依法究責。同時,應制度化邀請多元性別等易受公權力侵害的弱勢群體,參與警方的政策制定、教材設計、執法準則檢討與案件監督,避免政府僅從治安或道德管制的單一角度處理同志社群的生活與文化。
- 警方與媒體應停止以污名化方式描述同志場所與同志情慾文化。
不論案件最終調查結果為何,警方、政府機關與媒體皆應避免將性傾向、身體展現、BDSM 實踐或同志社群空間本身,直接等同於犯罪、危險或不道德。執法對象應是具體且可證明的違法行為,而不是一整個同志社群。
北市府過往一直將象徵自由多元的同志文化作為臺北市的國際觀光及形象行銷的重點,我們也將向國際社會說明,本次臺北市政府打壓同志空間之事件,不容北市府一手消費同志獲得國際重視,但又一手在國內打壓同志的虛偽作法。
同志社群不應因為聚會、交友、展現性別氣質、實踐親密關係或探索情慾文化,就必須面對更高強度的國家監控與羞辱風險。臺北市政府必須以具體政策與可檢驗的行動證明:在這座自詡多元、進步的城市裡,同志及所有多元性別者的尊嚴、自由與安全,不會在一次執法行動中被任意犧牲。
[JOINT STATEMENT] Historical Oppression Must Not Repeat: Taipei City Government Must Conduct a Thorough Investigation into the Wanhua Police Precinct Search Controversy at LGBTQ+ Venues
Background: What Happened in Taiwan
On October 3, officers from the Wanhua Precinct of the Taipei City Police Department entered a gay BDSM-themed bar in Ximending—a historic hub for LGBTQ+ culture in Taipei—to execute a search warrant. According to multiple on-site witnesses, officers refused to present the search warrant to individuals subjected to inspection, ordered all patrons to squat, prohibited communication and mobile device usage, made derogatory remarks directed at individuals with disabilities, subjected patrons to verbal abuse, and forcibly escorted dozens of citizens to the police station for interrogation. Confronted with such procedural violations, disproportionate measures, pervasive hostility, and abusive conduct throughout the operation, we—as civil society organizations committed to defending the fundamental rights of the LGBTQ+ community—issue our gravest condemnation and formal protest.
Taipei City has long promoted its vibrant LGBTQ+ culture as a hallmark of international tourism and its progressive image. We will inform the international community of this crackdown: Taipei City cannot be allowed to hypocritically exploit the LGBTQ+ community for international recognition while suppressing it at home.
The LGBTQ+ community should never face heightened state surveillance or humiliation simply for gathering, socializing, expressing gender, practicing intimacy, or exploring sexual cultures. The Taipei City Government must demonstrate through concrete policy and verifiable action that, in a self-proclaimed diverse and progressive city, the dignity, freedom, and safety of LGBTQ+ individuals will not be arbitrarily sacrificed.
This Is Not an Isolated Incident; It Is Historical Trauma for the LGBTQ+ Community
For the LGBTQ+ community, this incident is by no means an isolated case, nor can it be stripped from its historical context and reduced to a matter of "public security" or "offenses against public morals."
In the 1990s, LGBTQ+ establishments, social spaces, and communities lived under the constant shadow of police surveillance, raids, harassment, and stigmatization. Countless individuals were treated as suspicious, lewd, or illegitimate simply because of their sexual orientation, gender expression, intimate relationships, or sexual lives—depriving them of safe places to gather and live freely. Such oppression through state power is not a distant memory: just last October (2025), the 6th Precinct of the Taichung City Police Department similarly entered a gay establishment with a search warrant to inspect patrons and seize assets, ultimately forcing the business to close permanently.
Today, when a venue providing space for specific sexual cultures experiences another large-scale search, mass inspection of patrons, and police discrimination, humiliation, and intimidation, the community feels far more than a routine law enforcement action—it reawakens the collective memory of state intrusion and oppression.
Taiwan has progressed through gender equity education, same-sex marriage legalization, and increasing LGBTQ+ visibility. However, institutional progress must not remain confined to laws and slogans. If law enforcement officers continue to view LGBTQ+ venues, sexual cultures, intimacy, and sexual autonomy through heteronormative, binary, and moral-panic frameworks, it demonstrates that equality has yet to reach the frontlines of policing.
Sensitivity Training Alone Cannot Fix Systemic Issues
We must clearly state: The Taipei City Government cannot stop at merely "enhancing police diversity education and training."
While training is necessary, the issues exposed here go beyond individual officers "not understanding LGBTQ+ culture" or "saying the wrong thing." They concern whether law enforcement procedures were legitimate, whether enforcement measures were proportional, whether the rights of those present were protected, and whether police entered the scene carrying discriminatory hostility toward LGBTQ+ people, sexual cultures, the BDSM community, and persons with disabilities.
If the city government fails to respond with policies beyond lectures, a few hours of coursework, or internal publicity, it will personalize and technicalize systemic problems, failing to prevent similar incidents. The Taipei City Government must introduce proactive, actionable, and trackable policies so that police enforcement ceases to be a source of fear and humiliation for the LGBTQ+ community.
Our Demands
- Immediately initiate an independent investigation into improper law enforcement, procedural violations, and violations of human dignity; release the full findings, impose appropriate disciplinary measures, and issue a formal public apology.
- Preserve and publicly disclose all law enforcement records accessible under the law.
- Establish formal operational policing guidelines for LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse venues.
- Institutionalize equality and human rights protections for LGBTQ+ persons, individuals with disabilities, and marginalized groups into police operational protocols, performance evaluations, and accountability frameworks.
- Cease the stigmatization of LGBTQ+ venues and queer sexual culture by law enforcement agencies and the media.
