I don't know about your place but, the LGBT scenario in Vietnam is much more complicated, or worse. Of course those who are gays still have trouble in society nowadays but the situation have turned ridiculous lately. I said ridiculous because I cant even tell it's good or bad for either the LGBT community alone and the society itself. On one hand, the Internet are everywhere these years, and the information turned much easier to get, then the fighting, the "pride" came, the gay here now get the spirit, and they started to have their own voices, and they eventually were heard. On the other hand, gay started to be come a new trend. The number of people who claim to be gay increases crazily till now and haven't shown any sign of stop yet. People who struggled still are struggling with their family, people who are newly gays, are now more easier to go viral, famous, praised as 'cool' and 'brave' live, and brag about it everywhere. And guess what, 4/5 of my friends including myself had ever been sexual harassed by those who claims and acts gay, you still have to pee in the same room with them in the end though.
Eventually it grows an bad affect on how we straight think about it. Like I said on the other post, I couldn't care less about one's personal life, especially one I don't even have any interaction or a random stranger. But social behave is another aspect, I hate those acting ridiculous and stupid, those people just happened to be gay doesn't make me sexist or any thing against them.
On another look of this, Vietnam has a very strong "traditionalism" giving we're very same with the East Asia (yeah we're more close to China than the rest of SEA) culture but still we don't have anything that is in law or officially against gay, we're not illegalizing them nor killing, healing,... That in fact impressed even me when the first gay topic raised, which is kind of good.
