The Malaysian "Old Guard" isn't going to let the LGBT grow and develop if they can stop it by any means. I am so glad to hear that individuals are speaking out and contacting organizations like Human Rights Watch to make the world more aware of how the Malaysian government is not willing to change in a positive matter. The old guard needs to go bye bye and new blood, with forward-thinking, needs to be introduced into the government.
How in 2018 can a higher place of learning and education be so backward?
I can not believe a university would even go this direction. It has long been understood that conversion does NOT work. Sad to see this story.
GTiLad, if you are an undercover police here and not a gay, stop commenting on gay issues and showing your butt...
I know you are 'playing with psychology' here to convince other country to slow down from legalising gay marriage, becoz your country is nowhere near to recognising the gay community...
Hong Jun-pyo angered LGBT and HIV activists by claiming “because of homosexuality there are over 14,000 AIDS cases in South Korea”
that mean
Hong Jun-pyo was covering face/ his sin, rhetoric speech that He did not know history/cause prime of HIV tragedy, or He was part of group making HIV tragedy
I certainly agree with you fitnfriendly. More education, understanding, and prevention will help reduce HIV infection. So many people haven't a clue they are infected until it is too late and of course they have infected many more themselves. How with the new regiment of medications that are available, you can still live a happy and healthy life.
if year 2010 method, did not successful on decreasing HIV case among gays, then change to other method in 2011, if 2011 did not successful change to other method in 20012 and so on.
From 2010 to 2018 there had been at least about 8 different methods.
so, how many method you did now?
and how many list of method to decrease HIV case in your hands now?
since what year HIV prevention method you did? and how many method you did?
its about creativity
The aim is to decrease HIV tragedy case among Gays, not to sustainability of people occupation within HIV activist organization structure
Australia is aiming for HIV infection free in the near future. That does not means Australian gays have giving up sex completely. Its about acknowledging the problem and than finding a workable solution. A lot of countries are still not good at educating their gay citizens. Because gay sex is still considered a taboo subject and best not to be talked about or discussed. Australia launched a massive public education campaign with HIV prevention advertisements aired on national TV during the height of the epidemic. It just recently approve the subsidizing of HIV prevention medication PREP to all at risk individuals. Other countries should learn from Australia.
I fail to see the relevance of the last paragraph of the article.
Know the risks and educate yourself. That was regarding politics, however, the same is true regarding sex.
It i laughable that they no thing about the history of Chinese culture.

that are only stagnant information from year to year that indicate weakness or Sin of those giving data and of those who blame Gays.
but ofcourse gay also should know on why that happened when there are HIV activist.
Should HIV activist get organization Reshuffle? Don't you gay want achievement?
Perhaps, all gays should learn on recruitment that become new knowledge.
Recruitment is realistic matter.
Have you gays also learn to pause some activist and replace by others?
its strange for me, why gays do not evaluate from month to month, year to year on what happened in increasing HIV? can you gays to think why?
Gay freedom should related to decreasing in HIV case. If not than you should evaluate organization members or structure. why gays become stagnant?
So it's the 6th city as only 2 regions of Tokyo give out these certificates.
Maybe if people discussed things more openly they wouldn't have to resort to the law in difficult times. The law would change to reflect society quite quickly and readily then.
Ive previously mentioned on this website certain Asian countries will take a thousand yrs for their thinking to change for acceptance of Gay people thats how long it will take or maybe never.
Thank goodness that we have come this far...where there is an organisation that may be able to shine a light on the failure of Indonesia's government. Maybe not as effective as we would like, but certainly more than on country only taking a stand! It takes time.
This is China.... They involve themselves in everyone elses business but their own and it will not change anytime soon. Blatant ignorance and uneducated bigotry.
Well not sure it was totally representative of Japan society but still favourable generally. Maybe not much different from the Canadian response. Age, education, urban, rural differences seem to be consistent with what I would expect. The views on the introduction of child into a relationship seems to accurate also. I like the question asking, "what if your child was gay." a rather human compassionate response.
Much respect for the work that these two are doing during a very difficult time. Indonesia is a wonderful country - and the people of Jogja are especially gracious (most of them). Good luck to all who are fighting for education and inclusivity there! (I had the pleasure of screening films with the Q Film Fest, and at a special Jogja screening.)
I think Laos people have same problem with it being a crime to have gay sex. Human rights are violated here. Laws need to be changed through awareness and speaking out
This same film had been made several times in the past. It was more relevant then in the UK. Maybe it serves a purpose elsewhere in the world but hasn't the moral argument been largely won everywhere?
Bullying is bullying whatever the cause.
This film actually makes it look ok as it stimulated success!
So, the Chinese censor has different standards to the west. Probably the same as the west some years ago.
It'll be interesting to find out what was cut in time but it just shows that both sides have to work together.
Well done China. There is no rush.
When referring to China, using the word China is sufficient. No need to emphasise communist. No one refers to America or England as capitalist America or capitalist England.
