EPISODE 48- Pre-Colonial LGBTQ+ Pride in Asia

For a lot of queer Asian people, it can sometimes be very hard to find a place where they are embraced for who they are. This can even be the case in some Asian families, where they may believe that being queer is a direct result of Western influence. In Asia, there are many laws that discriminate against same-sex relationships. But was it always this way? Is being LGBTQ+ only a part of Western culture? In this episode of Asian Girl In A Western World, Lulu and Yaya dive deep into pre-colonial history to look at early homosexual practices and diverse gender expression in Asia, discuss how those practices compare to modern-day policy, and where the LGBTQ+ community stands in the eyes of Asian culture today.
