This is a member of a Kpop group TXT that I like, called Beomgyu. I went to their concert and took this photo. Many people like him because he looks handsome and looks a bit like a girl, but because he is a As a man, when I tell my male friends that I like him, they think I'm gay and I think they're being homophobic, even though I consider myself straight.

Linking this example with "Homophobia as a weapon of sexism" by Suzanne Pharr, she is well-known for her work on a variety of topics, such as homophobia, sexism, and the intersectionality of oppressions. She has drawn attention to the ways in which homophobia may be employed as a cover for sexism in society.

Pharr and several other activists in the feminist and LGBTQ+ domains contend that homophobia fundamentally functions as a means of upholding conventional gender norms and power structures. It maintains an inflexible and constrained concept of masculinity and femininity by monitoring and denouncing non-conforming gender identities and sexual orientations.

I agree with her. I think people are treating a When you like something, it has nothing to do with gender.

This photo was taken when I attended a large social event "HOBY" (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership) in 2021. This is an event about letting people accept each other and cultivating leadership skills. I gained a lot here. I know that people of different races face different challenges. plight, for example, people of color are discriminated against, and white people will feel guilty, Foundation.

In "The Perils of “People of Color” Tammy Kim points out that it falls short of adequately describing the variety of difficulties that exist among oppressed communities. While Kim contends that it may oversimplify distinct experiences, it may bring people together to fight systematic concerns. She calls for a more nuanced approach that recognizes the particular difficulties that many racial and ethnic groups confront. She emphasizes the significance of appreciating these distinctions in order to combat injustice and prejudice in an effective manner, without undermining the sense of community that the phrase promotes.

I concur with her; hence, rather than approaching this problem in a mindless way, we should look at it converstively and come together. Acknowledging the diversity of races within humanity and working for racial unification are both necessary.

This is a photo of me and a white friend of mine. We often play together, and we will also notice the differences in our bodies, such as skin color and eye size.

Linking to Judith Ortiz Cofer discusses her appearance and how other individuals saw it in different ways in her book, "The Story of My Body". Beginning with the skin, Cofer explores how the main character's self-image is impacted. In my opinion as a reader, Cofer understood the idea of someone feeling offended or discouraged because of their looks. She introduces the main character at the beginning of the paragraph. A little child, whose face has been severely scarred by chicken pox, feels uneasy about the way she looks. In order to describe the various aspects of her appearance and how it influenced her life, she divides the tale into sections based on skin tone, size, and color.

This is also something I encountered when I first came to the United States. As a Asian here I will feel that I cannot fit in with the group because my appearance is different from others, and I will feel very uncomfortable. But I'm happy that people around me are friendly to me, which gives me more confidence.

This is a photo I took in China. Compared to certain Western countries, there seems to be more conservatism and reluctance in many traditional Asian cultures, especially Chinese culture, when it comes to embracing LGBTQ+ people openly. These variations frequently result from a multitude of factors:

Family values, preserving heritage, and upholding social norms are highly valued in many Asian cultures' traditional beliefs and traditions. These cultural underpinnings may conflict with the acceptance of diverse sexual orientations. Asian civilizations tend to stress communal peace and family unity more than individual expression. Sometimes, this emphasis on communal well-being conflicts with personal identity expressions, including sexual orientation, and can lead to rejection.

There may be a lot of pressure to conform to social norms, especially when it comes to marriage, starting a family, and keeping family customs. These assumptions can provide significant challenges for LGBTQ+ individuals. They could feel compelled to hide their identity due to a fear of being shunned or left out. There are frequently discernible generational disparities in attitudes toward LGBTQ+ issues. Younger generations may be more welcoming and responsive than older generations, who could have more traditional values, as a result of globalization, exposure to a wider range of perspectives, and the availability of knowledge. Despite these distinctions, it's crucial to remember that opinions are changing over time—even in nations with more traditional values.

This is a picture I took with my Chinese female friend, she is a lesbian. Her family is very supportive of her sexual orientation and does not oppose it like traditional Chinese families.

In many Asian countries, there is a rising social movement and lobbying for LGBTQ+ rights, as well as more exposure to international viewpoints through media and the internet. The long and intricate process of cultural acceptance of LGBTQ+ people is shaped by a multitude of socioeconomic, religious, and historical variables. Asia is among the many regions of the globe where attitudes around gender identity and sexual orientation are progressively becoming more inclusive as a result of ongoing activism, education, and awareness campaigns. Even in countries with more traditional values, beliefs are subject to change with time, so it's important to keep this in mind despite these differences. A growing social movement and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights are present in many Asian nations, and media and the internet have increased public exposure to global perspectives. Numerous economical, religious, and historical factors influence the protracted and complex process of LGBTQ+ individuals becoming accepted in society. Asia is one of the many places in the world where, as a consequence of continuous activism, education, and awareness campaigns, views around gender identity and sexual orientation are gradually becoming more inclusive.
