In my opinion, LGBT has been normalized in Vietnam.

In recent years, many people

believed that LGBT was a disease and then found many ways to protect their
children from it. Although significant challenges still exist, acceptance and legal
recognition of the LGBT community in Vietnam is increasing. The Ministry of
Health announced in 2022 that LGBT is not a disease and called on medical
professionals to end discriminatory practices. This move is in line with global health
standards and aims to reduce stigma. While same-sex unions are not banned, there is
a lack of legal recognition and protection, and transgender people face barriers in
changing their legal gender. Social stigma remains prevalent, leading to
discrimination at home, school, and work, and causing mental health problems for
LGBT people (The Diplomat). Despite these challenges, recent policy changes
indicate significant progress for LGBT rights in Vietnam.
