We talk about homosexuality in Korea, different perceptions of and attitudes towards homosexuality, and different LGBT friendly parts of Korea.

Accepting homosexuality doesn't necessarily means that you're open-minded... :)

Omg you guys are awesome

I love the attitude of both of you! You're so great and never fail to make me laugh (and to make my mother think I'm somwhat insane, but that's not the point...)

there is a gay celebrity who is actually open abt it in korea named hong something... i think he has a restaurant in hongdae or itaewon.. and there r lots of gay korean movies.. a pretty famous brokeback mountain korean version antique bakery! and frozen flower and etc... since in Asia even same sex friends are acceptable to hold hands and be intimate, even if some of them happen to be gay, they wouldnt be even notice it.

You called it interesting the heterosexual females go to gay male bars in Homo Hill to avoid being hit on by grimey guys, but I live in NY in the US and I go to college here and that's the norm...

But falling between isn't that like it is in the United States and everywhere else as well? Older people are more close-minded toward homosexuality, (REPUBLICANS!) and the younger generation is more open-minded.

Its Simons voice that gives the feeling of being gay. However, doesnt matter. Simon and Martina are completely meant to be and even if Martina was a guy, Simon would still love her/him. Werk it, guys!

@kpopfanboy05 I see I'm not alone. Sorry Simon :C

Korea has a long way to go with accepting homosexuality. It is being more accepted but it is career suicide 4 a celebrity to admit being gay in S. Korea

Simon, after reading your Tumblr post on the whole gay issue I have to state this: you are probably one of the most manliest guys I have ever come across!! =)

On the subject, I came to the conclusion that people simply don't associate certain personality traits with homosexuality as the West does...Basically "acting somehow" and "admitting something" are taken differently - much like idols are considered virgin until they admit past or present relationships...

I could be wrong though...

Seoul Gay bars are not as good as before, not many younger gays shows up to that place. mostly older gay people goes to Seoul Gay bar these days. If you want to check out some where new, check out Incheon Area, its relatively new and has younger and hotter gays enters it.

No homo, hear from friend, Not from my experience, no Really, Come on
