タッド・フジカワさんのインスタグラム写真 - (タッド・フジカワInstagram)「There's such a stigma about being gay in Asian familes. For a lot of us it's really looked down upon. It's probably one of the worst things we could be. I'm sure it's similar in many cultures. But being gay makes us viewed as we are “lesser”. In most asian families, especially as a man, you DO NOT bring shame or embarrassment. You're expected to bring honor to the family. You're expected to be "masculine" and strong. Being a gay man negates any of that. Gay/Queer/LGBTQ+ representation is so important to change perspectives and beliefs on sexuality in our culture. I've heard about many people who have been kicked out, disowned, beaten, etc. because of their sexuality. While it may not immediately change how "traditional" families view homosexuality, over time we have the ability to change the lives of so many LGBTQ+ people/youth just by being visible. I'm proud to be gay. And I'm proud to be Asian. I hope other openly gay Asians like myself can be of an inspiration for others to live authentically. That being said, everyone's journey is different and you need to analyze the situation you're in. The consequences of coming out or living an openly gay lifestyle could be very detrimental. Your safety needs to be assessed as well as your mental health. In all of this...just remember that you are not alone. It's a process. Take your time with yourself and never feel bad or ashamed for doing what is best for you. THIS IS YOUR LIFE. LIVE IT. ♥️🏳️‍🌈 @thegaysianproject • • #gaysian selfie #smile #professional #golfer #golf #athlete #asian #life #love #home #hawaii #oahu #travel #adventure #pride #visibility #inspiration #gay #instagay #gayguy #gayboy #inclusion #lgbtq #advocate #activist #instagram #influencer」4月13日 6時28分
