Gay Pride Comes To Vietnam!

[attrayant]

I almost fell out of my chair: Pride Comes to Vietnam.

There will be a celebration on the streets of Hanoi this week the like of which Vietnam has never seen before. The historic city will hold its first ever gay pride event his weekend ahead of the country discusses legalizing same-sex marriage.

There does seem to be a wind of change in the communist country, only lLast Tuesday government Minister Ha Hung Cuong spoke out against homophobia, saying prejudice against gay people is 'unacceptable'.

If the dates in the article are right, this should be going on right now. I would love to see the leadership of other countries send praises Vietnam for doing the right thing. I'll be on the edge of my seat.

Kudos to the brave gay activists in Vietnam!

I wouldn't be surprised if Vietnam is the first Asean country allowing same sex marriage equality.
