Holland is a pure example of talent, and sexual orientation doesn't matter when it comes to music and art, it's the concept of gender and norms of society that decides for people, that takes a toll on talented people like Holland.. imagine how many such artist loses their ambitions just because the K-pop industry doesn't accept anyone belonging to the LGBTQ+ community.. I'm so proud of Holland, he has a brave heart, and I'm sure he's an inspiration to many others too... ❤️

If you live in a country that either doesn't really care or where it is protected maybe. Or you could live in places like Chechnya and tell people its universal while they dissapear you. Im not trying to be too serious or vulgar, but everyone who is like us has to remember that we are still tortured to death for just being us. And ALL of us need to keep some prayers and support for the many of us in those places where our brothers and sisters can and will be liquidated.

I hope with all the yt channels from Korea and KBLs and lgbtq contents made by Koreans awareness growth double the amount and more and another country joins the others where lgbtq people can be free and express themselves as they wish.

I admire him for having the guts to come out as gay. From experience I believe that in order for anyone from the LGBTQ to feel right is for the person to accept himself or herself first. One has to accept his sexuality to be happy. Here in the Phil. there's a big number of LGBTQ members. Not being straight is no sin. We are all creatures of an almighty being hence we should treat each other with respect no matter what our sexual choice is. Happiness can only be attained if we know or learn to accelt ourselves. This is what I teach my grandchildren and their friends.

I totally suppoet them because I dont't think it is wrong to like someone of the same gender. No matter who you love or which gender you love in the end it's all about love. A week ago holland got beaten by a stranger when he went for a walk outside and I was like this is not right. you can't beat someone if they are of the LGBTQ community. People can't judge them just like that. This topic should be brought up in secondary schools, High school and univerisities. They would be old enough to understand what LGBTQ is aand young people like them should be aware of these kind of things then only the LGBTQ communinty will get popular around the world.
