What is your opinion on LBGT?
I'm a gay man, so naturally you'd expect I have a certain bias towards the community.
In a general sense, I do. We are just like everyone else, as far as diversity is concerned, and it would be unfair to lump them all into a stereotype. It would be the same as saying all Africans are a stereotype of one tribe and socio-economic status.
I am however extremely critical of popular gay culture. Drugs are a serious issue. HIV is still rampant. Wanton sex and this culture of hedonism is still popular in South East Asia. I detest it.
On top this, there's a growing stereotype that the common gay activist is perpetually angry, bitter and cynical. Every other high-profile social event somehow has to be tied in with LGBT rights. I think that's rather self-serving.
