LGBT

For some of you who do not know what LGBT stands for, LGBT basically means Lesbians Gays Bisexuals and Transgendered. In my home country, Indonesia, people from the LGBT group are strongly discriminated against and their practice is extremely frowned upon. However, here, in America, those people are not as strongly opposed as they are in Asian countries. Do you think that their acceptance has anything to do with the country they live in? What are your opinions and viewpoints about this issue?

  1. Yes, definitely. Indeed, here in the United States, people can legally have that relationship without breaking a rule. I don't agree with the regulation of allowing these things to happen, else than it's opposing my culture, it is also against my 'view'.

  2. I really don't know any other country/culture that is more accepting than the United States with those types of relationships. After all, the U.S. just recently made it legal for gays to be married. However, most other countries/cultures are strictly traditional and old-fashioned in their own ways; LGBT is a modern concept. I know that LGBT is frowned upon in my culture, but in my opinion, I don't see any wrong with it.

  3. I feel out of a majority of the counties and cultures all around us, America is definitely the most accepting of LGBT. Of course, there's those handfuls are opposed of LGBT in America but in some states, being able to marry one of the same gender is generally legal. In my culture, I do feel there is also a numerable amount of LGBT. In the Philippines, there are many LGBT and actually on some of the TV shows that are broadcasted here from the Philippines there are many shows that include and portray LGBT. I feel it is ultimately accepted in the Philippines as well if they broadcast LGBT on their main television network thats seen around the world.

  4. I dont have an answer to the first question you asked but i myself dont have a problem with LGBT. I think everyone shoould have the right to be labeled whatever they want. People who have a problem with the issue should mind their own business and focus on their own problems.

  5. I do think that the acceptance, or non-acceptance or LGBT depends on the country. In America, people belong to the LGBT group had to fight for their rights and freedom to live comfortably. In other parts of the world however, there may have been worse consequences for LGBT people fighting for their rights, making it more difficult for them to fight for their freedom.

  6. I do think the acceptance of LGBTs are very dependent on the country. Strangely, I do not think America is the most open to the rights of LBGTs. Other countries allow legal marriages and relationships between same sex couples are expected. As far as I know, Korea is not yet fully open to LBGTs. There is some media that opens up the idea of same sex relationships and people are becoming more aware and supportive of these realtionships. However, Korea tends to currently prefer male-female couples over same sex.

  7. People has to fight to make it legal. There are many gays and lesbians in America, and it seems to be somewhat accepted. On the other hand, Korea seems to not accept LGBT. It definitely has to do with the country that they live in.

  8. I definitely think that the United States is extremely tolerant of LGBT relationships. In countries like Iran and Korea, however, LGBT is almost taboo. Personally, I don't see what's wrong with allowing people to love whoever they want and saying that there is something wrong with these relationships is another form of discrimination. What if the united states said that no more interracial marriages were allowed? there would be an UPROAR. the color of somebody's skin shouldn't determine whether they should be allowed to get married right? well neither should gender.
