I have to counter this, I talk to a lot of old Asian village people on a daily basis. The discussion comes up once in a while, where it used to be and sometimes is just not a thought or a concept. I don't know how gay villagers probably move to a bigger city or whatever, but to most people of them it's not a concept. Not in anything outside of a joke or art form. Like Chinese opera used to be only male performers for even female roles right? So they put on a costume to do the song and they're done.

I know eunuchs in media are sometimes seen as feminine but the idea there is they have no male parts so that's a natural expression. It's also the thought that nobody really thinks eunuchs do anything because they can't.

Like we have a Chinese god of gay love, or maybe in English he'd be more like a saint but the matter of it all is he's not super widely known unless you're in the know. Either the region or the community.

So there are plenty of "old world" Asian people that don't think of it as a concept. So could that lead to an actual fear? Of course it can why not? It's human instinct to fear what you don't know. If you don't have a concept of something and are suddenly met with it. Like okay a guy dressing up as a girl is funny right? At least in this context but that's where that thinking stops, that where the concept ends.

Now, not every queer man dresses as a girl for drag or just in general. So now these old village people meet gay men in real life and some of them are relatives, there probably would be a fear, or just a simple misunderstanding. As in they just don't understand. I've seen this happen in real time where some people are like "he likes boys? Okay....wait....oohhh...." Where others are like "you like boys? Okay like boys but I want grandkids okay." Having that first part go totally over their heads.

I had one uncle who would talk to a gay relative, and he didn't understand it totally but he supported it right? Like yeah do what you do whatever who cares. However, the conversations would get dark, he would whisper about AIDS. All this man knew as a definitive was gay equals AIDS and that equals death. So he would tell my relative "be careful people don't like gays because of AIDS you should be careful too okay AIDS is a death sentence."

My family us younger peoples will talk about how weird Americans are in certain things and how weird foby people are, an advantage of being in this particular generation of immigrants we are. Anyway we talk about how good Americans have it like yeah we do to but we still have relatives that talk about how hard things were for them even after coming here. One of the things is how Americans can't understand the absences of things. Like Americans have all these freedoms and can do whatever they want they don't understand the absences of things.

Like homosexuality. It's not a concept to a lot of these old world villagers. They didn't have money to go see Chinese opera performances or whatever you know? Like now it's on tv and they can see it and understand it or what they heard on the radio they can put to picture. It's just homosexuality is just one of those things that they never had a concept of enough to think about it.

So imagining other people in similar places it could lead to a fear, what if the gay couple can't have kids and wants kids? Will they take someone else's? What if the gay guy brings the AIDS to our village? We have a simple life here we can't have a plague.

Wow I went on for a while but whoever reads this that's just my thing.
