title = "The LGBT Movement in Vietnam",
abstract = "In this chapter, we provide an overview of the ways in which the LGBT movement in Vietnam has taken form and fought for full recognition of all and equal rights regard-less of sexuality and gender. The Vietnamese LGBT movement is composed of informal activist groups and networks as well as formally registered nation-wide operating associations. The LGBT movement in Vietnam, we elucidate, has been galvanized by moral and financial support provided by international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), aid agencies, and embassies that include equal rights in their platforms. The movement has successfully managed to affect public opinion and legislation on sexu-ality and gender, but the path to full recognition of LGBT people in Vietnam remains fraught with challenges.",
