Acceptance of homosexuality.
I was reading a couple of posts made by our fellow Korean classmates and I agree on what they were saying. In Korea, I believe that many people are homosexual, but they just don't want to come out of their cave because they would feel threathened by others. If homosexuals have a difficult time coming out of their cave in America, it would be even harder for many countries, like Korea. America is more open and homosexuality is more accepted than any other culture, but it's still very difficult for them to open up because of the hand full of people who have hatred against homosexuals. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so my perspective on homosexuals is completely different from my parents, who were born and raised in Korea. Even though they moved to LA in the 80's, they are against it because they are very Christian and it was socially unacceptable in the culture they grew up in. Even though I am a Christian, I have no problems with homosexuals because in general, they are very friendly people with a different taste and preference in whom they want to give their love to. America is a free country where they have the freedom of speech or freedom to love whoever they want. I think that Korea and other Asian countries are becoming more open about homosexuality because I see that many of these countries are trying to become more American. I don't know how long it will take for these countries to socially accept homosexuality, but it will take a very long time since America still has a difficult time with acceptance.
