The photo project is implemented in different provinces throughout Vietnam. Most of the photos are taken by the men who have sex with men (MSM), telling multiple aspects of their homosexual life, both in urban and rural areas.

With the purpose to encourage MSM to share their experience in life, love, sex, HIV/AIDS and associated social issues, the exhibition is expected to bring about a comprehensive view of MSM and to diminish the prejudice against homosexuality that deeply embedded within Vietnamese society.

MSM is standing third among the HIV/AIDS high risk groups in Vietnam, after drug injection and prostitution. According to the world recorded number, of the 2-5% gay out of the whole world’s population, Vietnamese male homosexual community occupies around 2 million out of 44 million men in Vietnam.

Male homosexual feature is not the only thing expected from the exhibition, the other cultural and social aspects of Vietnam will be conveyed through the lens of the MSM as well.
