Summary, in English

In this chapter, we provide an overview of the ways in which the LGBT movement in Vietnam has taken form and fought for full recognition of all and equal rights regard-less of sexuality and gender. The Vietnamese LGBT movement is composed of informal activist groups and networks as well as formally registered nation-wide operating associations. The LGBT movement in Vietnam, we elucidate, has been galvanized by moral and financial support provided by international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), aid agencies, and embassies that include equal rights in their platforms. The movement has successfully managed to affect public opinion and legislation on sexu-ality and gender, but the path to full recognition of LGBT people in Vietnam remains fraught with challenges.
