Samenvatting
This is who we are and how we live! Many Vietnamese LGBT persons lead invisible lives. Their stories are seldom told and those who dare to come out of the closet are often alone and have a low self-esteem. At the same time it’s hard for those who want to come out without any examples of how good and normal life can be as a Vietnamese lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Our goal is to give the LGBT community a face and a voice. This book is filled with interviews and photographs, packed with their own stories. It contains personal histories of 33 lesbians, gays, bisexuals, queers and transgenders in different age-groups coming from all parts of Vietnam. We want to celebrate diversity and show how different lifestyles are not only possible but also fulfilling.
