A Hard Silence to Break: LGBT Vietnamese Struggle for Understanding

With family lines of communication weakened by war trauma, language barriers, and cultural rifts, Vietnamese Americans have a difficult time talking with those closest to them about sexual and gender identity issues.

I have noticed in East Asian families seem very traditional, compared to White American families and such.

I wonder though why the LGBT right groups don't start advocating for LGBT rights in East Asian communites as well?

i'm part Asian myself.

Thank you for the interesting article that you linked to.

The sentence that jumped out at me was the one that said Vietnamese Americans may be more offended by gay relations than people in Vietnam itself are.

Yes, I have read that gay relations in Vietnam are not that taboo so long as one does not publicly flaunt it.

What do you consider "flaunting"?

What do you consider "flaunting"?

Perhaps talking about it in public.

Perhaps demanding the right to hold pride parades.

Perhaps demanding gay marriage.

I understand that in some Asian nations, two young men holding hands while walking down the street does not bother anyone. It is socially acceptable for two straight friends to do so.

Maybe a member who was in Vietnam during the war can tell us what he (or she) observed.

Talking about "it" What does that mean. Discussing a love interest? Being open and honest about who they are? Let me know when straight people stoping talking about "it" in publem and then maybe you'llhave a case for asking gays ri stop

Perhaps demanding the right to hold pride parades.

When straight people stop trying to rob gays of pride and dignity, they will stop having parades. Meanwhile don't attend any and you won't be bothered by them

Perhaps demanding gay marriage.

They are not demanding gay marriage. They already have it. It's called marriage equality and most people don't even notice it anymore.

Being that you are a fudge packer, you just cant pull your head out of another man's ass.

My Problems With the LGBT Community and the Way They Approach Their Mission

I believe the LGBT community should be afforded equal rights under our Constitution, but while I stand for equality, I also find many things quite disturbing within the gay community. There are exceptions who I have met along the way, but for the…

A man really must be a loser who just cant seem to find that woman right for him. That the loser must go after some other loser who is out there feeling sorry in today's Feminazi world where women want real men, not some progressive pussy pajama boy.
