I know this is touchy issue.....but I do want to ask this question. Similar to my facial acne post in the Vietnamese section.
However....I've noticed a lot of Filipino males..not a lot as in 90%....but let's say 38% of the Filipino males I've encountered are homosexual.
Does it have to do with the Filipino culture being liberal?
Or is there some kind of genetics involved? I say genetics because a lot of Thai people tend to be homosexual,...some Vietnamese I know.....seems to be in the southeastern region and the Philippines region.
Maybe, like I've said, the Filipino culture is more liberal....so homosexuals don't feel threatened to be open about their sexuality.
Not like Korea or China where they're conservative, and if you're a homo.....you won't have friends, or your parents may treat you like garbage.
Ok ok ok i'll answer your Q using my kind of professional term..
Based on your observation, it is actually a fact that North America have a much higher percentage of gay/bisexual/homos. One must be taken into consideration that Phil have about 60% more population in comparison to Canada, and USA have a much higher number of Bisexual in sight.
They even celebrate Gay Pride and it's one of the biggest event, Canada's bisexual society is also much more in sight, you will see them celebrating their wedding. Canada's gay society can be seen anywhere official such as goverment agencies,church and big organization.
Phil bisexual are mostly concentrated in Bars,Parlor's and Malls interms of majority
London gay society holds a very strong position in the society, they can be a town official and be gay at the same just like Canada.
I'm quite puzzled how you never noticed this, in short North American are more Gay than Phil, we are pretty much the minority...
So next time you see a gay Filipino, don't be surprised coz they ain't the cherry of the vodka.
And it's not 38%, more like 10% if you ratio with the population, North America will probably give you 20%, Thai might just give you 30%...
I hope this satisfies your curiosity...
