Spell out the acronym first, please
Might be a good idea to spell out the acronym in the headline so that the article's subject is clear.

Not to mention that the article seems to be exclusively about homosexuals, not bisexuals or transgendered persons. Frankwomble 18:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe that is is WP's standard to call this type of article "LGBT rights in nation" GeekX (talk) 11:33, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

POV
The content of this article mainly try to describe how the Vietnamese Goverment supressed the rights of LGBT and try to prove that the Vietnamese goverment violates the LGBT rights. Furthermore, the article's content show a dark image of LGBT discrimination, despite the fact that the society and the media is relatively tolerant to the LGBT cases now. The foreign sources of the article seems do not reflect accurately about the situation in Vietnam. This article should be seriously upgraded.

 * I've replaced the fortunecity.com ref by fact per self-published source, unless someone can provide a substitution I will remove the tagged information in about one week. Grenouille vert (talk) 06:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you point out which passage you consider POV? All the facts in this article seem to be also present in the Vietnamese-language article. DHN (talk) 17:43, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * So there's just the thread creator stressing the situation at the end of the Civil Rights &sect; and the well supported earlier text, in a juxtaposition reflecting the living contradiction of the historical situation in roughly the current time. So nothing to do, not POV, just not a simple black-white situation, except for the support for statement like "like many other societies, Vietnam has expressed homophobia and archaic attitudes about homosexuality which have recently been changing". 72.228.177.92 (talk) 22:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Remove age of consent from History § ?
The last sentence in the History section, which talks about the age of consent being 16 in Vietnam regardless of gender or sexual orientation feels out of place. Should we remove it or put it somewhere else in the article? Hoang1nguyen (talk) 00:47, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Inconsistency betweem summaries
summary table below says surgery and legal gender changes are allowed, page box up top says they're banned 185.134.5.47 (talk) 09:44, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Military services
Actually in the health certificates for you to apply for the military (at least for women as men are obligated to join the armed forces) have a section that requires you being confirmed a hetero by a psychiatrist to be able to serve because all other sexual orientations are considered "mentally ill" (crazy right?) and thus not eligible. Nobody cares about that requirement anyway but it's there. So should we change the article in that regard? (speaking from my own experience applying to the army and saw people lying about their sexuality to get through) 1.55.164.143 (talk) 06:00, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
