Gay Travel: Vietnam Hosts First Ever Gay Pride Celebration |
|

|
 Rainbow flags streamed through the streets of Hanoi on Sunday as the city hosted Vietnam's first-ever gay pride parade. The event is seen by many as a step toward Vietnam becoming the first Asian state to legalize same-sex marriage.
The parade, organized by the city's small but growing Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community, went without incident. Police made no attempt to stop the colorful procession of around 100 participants despite the marchers not having a permit for the event.
The event followed a surprise proposal by the country's Justice Ministry in July to amend Vietnam's marriage laws to include same-sex couples. The country should consider passing a law to formally recognize same-sex marriage, Justice Minister Ha Hung Cuong said.
