The LGBTQ+ community is now gaining more and more recognition and support in Vietnam, with gay pride parade becoming annually celebrated. Homosexuality has never been criminalized in Vietnam, and recently, in 2015, the National Assembly passed a bill that would make it legal for transgender individuals to change their gender on legal documents to reflect their true gender identity.
However, the Pride is still a new thing in Vietnam and the country is somewhat still conservative. But not only with gay couples. It is generally recommended that both gay and straight couples resist showing public displays of affection.
