Asians respond to question: \u2018Would you tell your parents if you were gay<\/a>?\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Asian adults have revealed how their parents would respond if they came out as gay<\/a>, in a video<\/a> created to educate others about Asian culture and values.<\/span><\/p>\n

Titled ‘Would You Tell Your Parents If You Were Gay’, in English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese, a range of adults of all ages answer three important questions: ‘What do Asians think of same-sex<\/a> marriage?’, ‘Would you you tell your parents if you were gay<\/a>?’ and ‘What would you do if your son or daughter was gay<\/a>\/lesbian<\/a>?’<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked whether she come out to her parents, if she were gay<\/a>, one participant responded:<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I think that parents, really Asian parents, are not really very good at dealing with this kind of news.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Another revealed: ‘I think it would be hard for some people to come around.’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I heard ones where he’s completely ostracised, very disappointed.’<\/span><\/p>\n

She even revealed the extent to which gay<\/a> people are willing to go to conceal their sexuality.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Have you heard about how two lesbians<\/a> and two gays<\/a> got married to each other? And they live<\/a> next to each other, and when the parents come, they switch houses? So, that’s how they get around it in some ways.’<\/span><\/p>\n

One father even implied he would take his child to receive psychological help if they were to come out.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I would be totally shocked,’ he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Maybe I would bring him or her to see some people.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Another mother explained her fears about keeping her son, if he were gay<\/a>, at an all boys<\/a>’ school.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Luckily, at present, he is straight,’ she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘But if those things happen, I’m open-minded, I would respect his opinion. I wouldn’t have any discrimination or any strong opposition to that.’<\/span><\/p>\n

As an Asian woman<\/a>, she explained, she would be surprised and shocked, as being gay<\/a> goes against her custom and tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite many negative attitudes, some video<\/a> participants were more accepting.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘It’s up to the younger people to do their research and see if they can change the minds of the generations before them,’ one woman<\/a> explained.<\/span><\/p>\n
