Homosexuality and Your Culture

There, men hug and kiss and eat and dance and sleep and sing and cry with other men. Every day.
Here, men don't.
There, men abhor homosexuality.
Here, men don't.
But why generalise.
I am supportive of homosexuality because as a heterosexual here my physical behaviour with other men is very reserved.

Homosexuality and My Culture hmm.
I don't know how to respond to something broad like this. I was born in Korea and follow the Korean culture but was raised in Sweden and Canada. So I'm fortunate to have lived in countries that have very liberal and progressive laws when it comes to homosexuality. Even in society its a bit more open and positive.
In Korea though, men do dance together and hold hands and such but no in the same sense as being homosexual, but being friends. It's a very traditional and conservative for anyone out of the ordinary it seems. I myself have a hard time visiting family who are very much against me being gay. But its who I am.
Good posting though, shame that not many more people have replied.

it's interesting that when you refer to homosexuals you use a masculin pronoun. just thought i would point that out.
my immediate culture has been very excepting of homosexuality. i have gay cousins and my parents worked in alternative jobs; running a restaraunt (dad) and coreographing/teaching/dancing (mom). i grew up around lots of queer folks and i didn't even know it. i remember being called a dyke in grade four and not knowing what that word ment.
i had lots of out friends in high school and it may sound all peachie but there were lots of tough shitty times. i am lucky that my family structure was open to different gender identities and sexualities. i have other friends who were not so lucky.
ironically i am straight (as of the present) even though i consider myself a pomosexual gender bending grrl. i think it is important to acknowledge that homophobia hurts everyone and that it is deeply routed in sexism. i am glad that my parents were accepting and let me express my gender how i wanted to and didn't limit me in that regard!
thank god for bowties, barbies in trucks, and baseball.
elle.

In Slovenia they call gay = "PEDER" . And as a quite egoistic nation different sorts are not quite so popular.
Gays can be beaten up if they express their homosexuality openly on street (worst case scenario) Or they can be insulted verbally.
Maybe even cannot go into some places, restaurants.
NOTE: I support rights of all homosexual people without prejudice.
