I doubt Thailand is that high. Again, stop thinking Thailand is one big Pattaya. Most are ordinary folk. There is still a lot of intolerance towards homosexuals, kathooeys etc. In Bangkok it might be like that, but Thailand as a whole? I doubt it's any higher than Japan.
Being intolerant toward homosexuals is what ordinary folks do?

Well in Asia there isn't as much violence or vitriolic hatred for homosexuals, but on the other hand it's not exactly like they are totally embraced like in the West. In many cases families with say a son who are homosexuals are mostly disappointed that they won't have grandchildren.
The only thing I don't like are transgenders on TV. I don't mind seeing gays as long as they are still dressed like men but transgenders are a different thing. Filipinos shouldn't be too accepting on transgenders especially the ones on tv as they are influencing the youth.
Go live in a islamic country if you don't like it, it's 2014 how can you still discriminate against legit transgenders?
There are really so many gays in the Philippines. My husband sometimes wonders why Filipinos really like seeing gays on tv and in the movies. The only thing I don't like are transgenders on TV.

What's wrong with transgenders on TV? They exist, or would you prefer to pretend they don't?
yeah gays are open in the Philippines. they can express who they are but except for one thing. No gay or lesbian marriages in the Philippines. So those who want to get married they usually have to migrate somewhere else and get married there like for example in the US.
Most of the Filipino gays are hard working, talented and they are funny. I have some gay friends and will make you laugh all the time.

Your probably right, I saw a documentary about gay people in China and one of them was saying most of the guys end up marrying women just to make their family's happy.
The Philippines must be the most socially liberal Catholic country in the world. When I was in Manila, I saw more feminine girly "men" and trannies walking the streets than I did in San Francisco.
Philippines on average is definitely not an alpha male country.
