That's quite an overgeneralized blanket statement you're making. Believe it or not there are gay people anywhere in the world and underground gay parties hosted in Seoul. As for tranvestites/ transexuals, Ha Ri-su is quite the celebrity all over Asia.

And it's gyopo, not gyokpo.

you are correct. its gyopo. my korean sucks. i knwo. haha.

i dont think its an overgeneralized blanket statement only because i said openly. not just being gay in korea. being openly gay is not something you find in seoul. being gay on the other hand is different because of course there are gay people all over and anywhere in the world. being openly gay is a different realm in itself. especially in a country where male egos fly.

transexuals like her (or he but technically her) might be popular but that doesnt mean the culture is open to it. although sex is rampid in korea it isnt as "open" as it is in the states or korea. people still turn a blind eye to it. youll find it in places where youll find it. id say in comparison to 8 years ago korea has changed drastically. although softcore porn is right on tv at night!

that is correct. i don't think illmaticnyc made an overgeneralized blanket statement either.

in korea, the society at large appears to be less tolerant of gay lifestyles. as opposed to the philippines, where you'd find more openly gay people. some wonder if it's because of it being a predominantly catholic country.

the first girl that ever hit on me was philippino. haha. back in the twilo days around 2001? hahahhaha

my mom gets hit on when she goes to korea.
she gets hit on by cab drivers, and most men around her age.
married men and women also cheat a LOT.

when i was in korea two yrs ago, everyone was not too friendly, knowing i was a foreigner. also, most of them did not like americans. when i spoke korean (i'm pretty fluent), they all thought i was from china .. ahaha. apparently, my korean sounds chinese!

but! fun place to visit.

random memory - took asiana airlines there, and i liked how they played some edm music on one of their radio channels .. "beautiful things" was on repeat ahaha

hehe yup, Filipino or Filipina. Pinoy or Pinay. Lots of different ways to say it!

Bubble tea is awesome, but so expensive from the good places here! I've thought about getting a Do It Yourself kit, but haven't been adventurous enough yet.

You'd think that b/c it's predominantly Catholic there'd be LESS tolerance of gays. Or are you comparing them with hardcore evangelical Christians? I actually think the openess to gays in the PI is cultural. Lots of guys are mama's boys. Filipinos in general love shopping, dancing, and are very consciencious of their grooming (qualities that are sometimes stereotyped more with gays and metros.) Could just be the ones I know though... haha

its not that its a catholic country in my opinion. i think it has to do with confucism type believes. that is why right now we see such a cultural surge in asia with confucious and western idealologies clashing.

Interesting turn this thread has taken... haha Anyway, I think I understand what you mean. Confucism emphasizes heterosexuality and that clashes with homosexuality which is viewed as more western? It's true the PI embraces more western ideologies than most Asian countries.

it isnt so much the ideology of hetero or homosexuality. its just the culture in general. for instance a lot of these asian countries are going through this massive sexual revolution. icant speak for china but i can speak more for korea. you would have NEVER even seen people kissing in movies or tv shows ten years ago. now they are full blown fucking each other. music videos are much more scandalous. everything is more scandalous. girls are sluttier than ever. peopel are more promiscuous than ever! its nuts. you dont understand how it is in korea!!! i went to a club and this girl got full blown naked and started doing some crazy shit. i was in a karoke room only to see her come up on our video screen. i thought it was aplayback but we went outside our room to see the same thing! and this happens quite often at our club.
i read that its the bottled up culture of asia meeting the open minded sexuality of the western world. mix the two and you have dynamite. imagine if people in the middle eastern world were allowed to express how they feel. im sure they would go more nuts {not all) to the thought of sexual expression given how bottled up a lot of them may be.

i guess tahts why guys like catholic school girls...goody and pent up on the outside but ready to ride like a horse on in the inside.

haha jk. but anyways...im not talknig about prostituion in these countries. im just talking of countries as a whole. i mean weve seen some changes here in the states esp with younger girls and britney spears.

I completely understand what you mean now. Thanks for elaborating! I was actually a good Catholic school girl who suffered from severe repression until college lol I guess that explains a bit

AHAHAHA IM CRACKING UP MAN.

perfect example that just came to mind....kids who are really sheltered in highschool. go to college. have all this freedom. go nuts with drugs drinking and sex. typical scenario. that would have been a good comparison but it didnt come to mind earlier.
