The title is a bit of a click bait here but it’s true: Asia loves a good looking white man - it’s sad (about the bias towards white people) but true lol. White people have privileges in Asia. Ironically the liberation experience works oppositely for Asian gays in western countries. (Some parts of) Western countries liberate us. You’re very handsome and wish you lots of joy here. Glad you’re having a great time and becoming more comfortable your sexuality here
Great videos. I’m a Taiwanese who escaped to Australia to be gay in the 90’s. But Taiwan has since became the most LGBTQ friendly Asian country. I hope you had a fantastic time in Taiwan. Australia is also a country that’s worth visiting, hope you’ll have the opportunity to explore it one day.
So sweet and thanks for sharing your story. It's amazing to see how much Taiwan has progressed in terms of LGBTQ rights and acceptance in recent years. I feel fortunate to have been able to witness and experience this during my travels in Taiwan.
Being gay in Taiwan would be different for you than many locals who had so much social and family obligations that made it difficult. You will find many expats in Ximending from all parts of the globe congregate there. I personally found that Gay life is rather louzy in comparison to Bangkok where I was really appreciated yet strange encounters happens. Typical Thai would like me and the westerners use me as a bait to get the boys that they want. There are not too much diversity there in Taiwan as far as types of men there in Taiwan. I still prefer the cruising scene in US, Eastern Europe, and Germany, and Brazil.
I LOVE TAIWAN! It's one of the most progressive countries in the world. The people are so friendly. I walked all over Taipei including at night and never felt unsafe. The transit system is spotless, you could practically eat off the floor. The hot springs & sauna I went to were really HOT!
Homosexuality has deep historical roots in China. Many stories about emperors and same-sex relationships are recorded in history books. On a non-governmental level, people tend to be relatively tolerant in private.
It's more like pedophilia was deep rooted in historical china Sexual relationships between two grown men weren't accepted Emperors had underage young boys as concubines
Taiwan is the place to be. Some of the older gen families still have prejudices but they are slowly coming around. You're right though China is not supportive but then again not necessarily against. It's weird.
Congrats on finding a place you are comfortable to be yourself and thrive in a community that thrives. I don't see why it has to be different in China than in Taiwan, or in the wester for that matter, when it comes to gay rights. It doesn't mean less rights for str8 people.
love your story! part of me migrating to the u.s. is also to live freely. it is interesting to hear moving in the other way around can be true as well. i guess part of it is just for queer folks to get away
Judging by how many of these comments are recent, looks like yt suddenly decided to recommend this video. Could do a Q&A. Questions I'd have: where are you from (which state, if US; big city or small town). What was it like growing up gay (or bi/pan/whatever) there. Was there a sizeable Asian population where you lived. Did you choose Asia cause you like Asian guys, or did you come to like them more as you had more experience with them. What's your experience with dating women. Thought you were a leftie for a sec, but I see the video is flipped!
You are gay no matter where you are, just like a status..Born that way...The reason you feel more free in Asia mostly cuz you into Asian i guess...I love BWC that's why I move to the UK 😌
You are gay because you were born this way. You did not become gay by being in Asia. Just like I don't become straight because I am in the US. I do have to agree with you that Taiwanese people are one of a kind. They are kind and generous, they don't judge you because you are different. In other words, there are no religious fanatics there like in the US which is full of bigots. I am from Taiwan and have been living in the US for quite a few years now, I would move back there in a heartbeat if it weren't because my life is tied up here with education and employment. I hope to achieve the dream of moving back there one day. Wishing you the best!
I escaped to US to be myself in the late 1980’s. Gay Westerners in Asia are popular, but being gay Asians in the US are not, at lease not when I was young.
Asian guy is the trend right now, maybe it's not because you're Asian but because you're ugly? idk. Any ugly person from any race wont be popular anywhere and any hot guy from any race will be popular everywhere
I am Taiwanese and glad you choose Taiwan for traveling. Food and Chinese food and people are nice here and happy you like them. Welcome to stay here again and explore more good experiences here ☺️
As RuPaul's Drag Queen Taiwanese winner Nymphia Wind told Taiwan's former president, Taiwan was also the FIRST country to have a drag show at the Presidential Office and the current president attended last year's Pride Parade. He also proudly reminded the world that Taiwan was the first country in Asia to legalize gay marriage on his inaugural speech. I don't think there's ANY country, Asia or not, can match Taiwan's openness toward LGBT people!
Interesting title. It's a shame that PRC China has chosen communist dictatorship over constitutional democracy. The ROC regime originated in mainland China and flourished in Taiwan. Look at what the Republic of China (Taiwan) has accomplished, it's amazing. The Chinese really lost a lot because of communism.
Why does everything have to revolve around sexuality, gay bars and pigeon holed groups. Wasn't the point of fighting for equality just to quietly live a normal life?
I am local Taiwanese, It seemed that I am not living far enough far home, so still not explore enough..... not seeing you update your TH-cam. Still in Taiwan?
You are adorable and I liked your video, but COME ON...Asia did not make you gay. It just aloud you the freedom to explore you repressed sexuality. I have traveled all over Asia for years for business, and I too love the the people and the country, but if you love it in Taiwan I can wait to see your review on Bangkok Thailand.
The word is “allowed,” not “aloud.” Same pronunciation, but different spelling and meaning. (I’ve taught ESL for several decades and NEVER encountered that mistake before!). May I suggest you get yourself a good - paper/book edition - dictionary? “The American Heritage Dictionary” and “Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English” are both excellent and highly recommended. All the best!
@@WillScarlet-zc2iw A bit BITCHY, buy you are correct. I type quickly but not always correctly, my fingers can get ahead of my brain and I don't go back and check words that auto correct may have changed incorrectly. But either way...good catch.

It's Very sad!
Can't agree with you more... Felt so trapped here, but was really happy when I went to live in Europe.
It's true
Any average looking white man will be treated like a god for many Asian countries
All along I'm thinking... this is a good looking white guy, he must be drowning in Asian guys over there. Asian guys LOVE white guys.
Completely accurate. They love white people. It’s a thing.

no, taiwan is not the most LGBTQ friendly... that belongs to thailand.
中文說得超順的，好厲害哦！😁
謝謝 🙏
歡迎來台灣玩，希望您的旅行有美好的經驗。
謝謝，我在台灣很開心喔！
Taiwan is really good with the LGBTQ community. Even the Taiwanese president invited Nymphia Wind to perform there. They’re really supportive.
aww thanks for sharing your experience here! Love your work! Hope to meet you in person at Taipei someday :)
Thanks! So sweet! I'lll be back in Taipei soon :)
Well title click bait and it work I love it
Interesting openness. You may have found your spot.😊

I've never been to Taiwan but I've heard good things. I'm sure the cultural shift of accepting gays has made a difference.
Try the original Queer as folk! The UK version!
Kinky Littlefinger as the daddy protag
I lived in Shanghai 204-2015, I LOVED IT! I'm disappointed since coming back to the UK, I hope I won't stay here.

I'm glad you can enjoy being who and what you are in Taiwan. Great to have you in the gay community here.

Your videos are great! Will you do more vlogging like this some time? ❤
I did watch all five season of "Queer as folk" recently lmao
也太帥了吧 想一起吃飯~
love your story! part of me migrating to the u.s. is also to live freely. it is interesting to hear moving in the other way around can be true as well. i guess part of it is just for queer folks to get away
Glad you had a wonderful experience
awww you're cute, wish you were here 🙂
thee strangeness of the youtube feed that i bumped into this
Your Mandarin is pretty good bro... 六六六😂
請問這家店在那裡？

How easy is it to learn mandarin ? And what are Taiwanese guys like ?
Masterful with the noodles, can only imagine other skills 💪👀

以為翻譯翻錯了
Gay也有快樂的意思
想說應該是亞洲讓你感到快樂
哈哈
Gay 是糜爛，放蕩式的快樂 ， 不是好
話！
支持橱柜的每一个男孩子😘

沒想到有這麼一段故事
Super fun to see
Thanks :)
那是因為你個人的外表，所以她們對你親切、有善，不是每個人都有這種待遇，她們對台灣人都沒有這樣。
TRUE
True
他们讨厌台湾人
讨厌你都来不及还对你亲切
超 精準大實話 此乃 真-白人優待

Never truer words have been said. (G)WMs are still coveted around the world's gay communities.
Asian guy is the trend right now, maybe it's not because you're Asian but because you're ugly? idk.
Any ugly person from any race wont be popular anywhere and any hot guy from any race will be popular everywhere
It’s still not right now… 😞
Am new to your channel
Which gay bars and saunas in Shanghai do you recommend? And also which dating apps?
✨💙✨
You handsome ❤️❤️❤️
交個朋友吧

Your face , your fate !😆 ,,, your life , your rights ; your freedom , your accountability ! 👍💪㊗️

Discord link expired 😢
It is also because of positive racism. So he was treated very well because he is white.
HELL YES!!! 👍🥰🥰🥰🥳🤭🎉🎊
Nobody or no place makes anybody gay, you are innately gay, period.
❤❤❤
Good luck
No one can make you gay. That is a urban story.
friendly and helpful…if you’re cute.
I'd like to see your "Will & Grace" viewing completion, or we're taking back to Gay card.
I can not understand any of the comments. It's time to learn Chinese.
Now I know what made me gay!
Asia didn’t make you gay? You were already gay before you left!

Misleading title
Weren’t you gay to begin with?

You was gay way before you went to China buddy😮
很帅，会找到你的另一半的。
Well you certainly are cute!
Honestly, Asia made me lesbian.
Did you find your boyfriend yet LOL 😂 😂
I'm still looking!
Taiwanese have very good food.
You will be a popular in Asia because you are from the West.
可以當我男友嗎😂
Why does everything have to revolve around sexuality, gay bars and pigeon holed groups. Wasn't the point of fighting for equality just to quietly live a normal life?
Taiwan gay community is quite big and there is same sex marry, but in China gay is officially illegal.
I am local Taiwanese, It seemed that I am not living far enough far home, so still not explore enough.....
not seeing you update your TH-cam. Still in Taiwan?
You are adorable and I liked your video, but COME ON...Asia did not make you gay. It just aloud you the freedom to explore you repressed sexuality. I have traveled all over Asia for years for business, and I too love the the people and the country, but if you love it in Taiwan I can wait to see your review on Bangkok Thailand.
The word is “allowed,” not “aloud.” Same pronunciation, but different spelling and meaning. (I’ve taught ESL for several decades and NEVER encountered that mistake before!). May I suggest you get yourself a good - paper/book edition - dictionary? “The American Heritage Dictionary” and “Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English” are both excellent and highly recommended.
