Sometimes it's really hard to understand cultural differences. In the U.S. in university there's no way of knowing the rank of people in your classes unless you ask, so you can't and don't have to greet others higher than you or the teacher. You don't have to socialize in order for people to work with you or like you. I didn't know most of the people in the same Major as myself. Social drinking wasn't something normal or required to get to know people/accomplish things. LGBT+ isn't something rare and I've seen plenty of public interactions and none of the friends I have that fit themselves in that category have had any major problem aside from a few stares, but you can get those regardless. It seems like it's a lot harder to live your life your way in other places and that's not okay to me.

    I agree with you in a lot of points, but just be careful to not think that your culture is better than different cultures. Like, the part tolerance with LGBT+ community is a must, but a lot of other aspects of asian cultures are just different than yours, that doesn't mean they are wrong (ike the social drinking etc)

    I definitely don't think mine is better. It could very much be improved.

    In many asian countries, LGBTQ are still considered as taboo, disgusting, despicable, disease, etc.

    Agreed. I saw a news in Brunei that enforces a law that allows people to stone lgbt people
    Its disgusting, vile and inhumane coming from their islamic culture, the sharia law.
