Hi, I'm a 19 years old boy, from Italy. This year I finish my ''high school''. LGBT situation in Italy is very bad. I would share with you my experience. In my country and region is one of the most industrializated of Italy. Everyone say Italy is beautiful, but I think that everyone visit or live Italy want escape from this country. There are NO gays people here. Only in Milan there is a gay life, and only for old man, there aren' t young gay people... In my ''zone'' there is ''tolerance'' but not acceptance, a lot of fascist, all the people smile at you but you don't know what they really think. I have meet 2 or 3 gays and lgbt people face some discrimination. But the problem isn't the social discrimination. I visit the Netherlands and this country is a beautiful place, but I think that NL isn' t the country for me to live. I am a very curios man and i heard the name of taipei like one of the most tolerant place in asia. I never thought that there are a lot of gay people there !! But the acceptance for a young man?
I have no friend, no gay and absolutely no straight friend. I think this situation is all over the Europe. Not only me, all gay people that I met have no friends, no social life and are always lonely. people in Italy smile at you but italian are the ugliest people in the world... I have experienced this. A lot of fascists and nazists. :fume: :fume: An archaic society, particurally against women and foreigners. they seems russians.
The problem is that if I act like a straight, meaning that I am arrogant, rude, stupid, play football and I am a rapper and I .... all the girls in the wolrd society accept me, ( and I am like a maroccan). If I like guys society not accept me. Not only I can't be open with my sexuality, but ANYONE man accept that I am not gay, but HOMOSEXUAL, and this affect my character and the relationship between me and other boys. !! :thumbsdown:
I would make to you some questions, and I am very happy if you will answer me.
1) Taiwan is really a open-mind city? (differences betwenn old and young people?)
2) how young people( means boys that are lower of 30 years old) view the homosexuality?
3) Can I live a ''normal'' life?
4) Can I walk on the street holding a boys man without people that insult me ?
5) Can I go to the bar, cinemas, restaurants ecc with my boyfriend?
6) How is social life? (I think social life of taiwanese people is very active)
7) Cain I have STRAIGHT friend, or make new frineds or relationship and be open with my sexuality? Or people isolated me?
8) How taiwanese ''see'' the foreigners?
9) the most important: how taiwanese boy react to ''feminine man ( it' s not my case) or ''sweet'' ''interested'' man? ( I mean that taiwanese boys seems cute and sweet between them)
Thank you for the time you spending read my message, I hope you will answer me.
Sincerity
Sorry for the english, I read a lot of newspapers and books, but I think that I need more time to know the language.
