THE LGBT MOVEMENT IN VIETNAM1

Summary, in English

This chapter examines mobilisation around sexuality and gender identity in Southeast Asia through an examination of how the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement in Vietnam has pursued full recognition and equal rights for all, regardless of sexuality and gender. As the chapter details, the Vietnamese LGBT movement is composed of informal activist groups and networks as well as formally registered, nation-wide associations. The LGBT movement in Vietnam has been galvanised by moral and financial support provided by international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), aid agencies, and representations (e.g. embassies) which include equal rights in their platforms. Over the years, the movement has successfully managed to change public opinion and legislation on sexuality and gender, yet the path to full recognition of LGBT people in Vietnam has been and remains fraught with challenges.
