    government is the issue there, not cultural attitudes

    Ehh… Not really. Homophobia is just different in East Asian cultures. A lot of Asian people don’t really care if someone they don’t know is gay, but are incredibly harsh towards their own family members if they come out. Pretty much all East Asia is still extremely culturally conservative and still holds onto Confucianist social values like abiding to strict social expectations.
