Nepal seems likely to introduce equality in 2010 and the King of Cambodia supports marriage equality - personally intervening to help partnered gays get Cambodian visas and even posting a handwritten note on his website to make his views clear point.

But who else is making a real push forward in Asia?

Sadly it is much easier to determine who is going nowhere. Hong Kong ruled out equality in 2006, for example. Chinese attitudes are changing, but very slowly, as this article shows.

It seems the only gay marriages in Asia for a while yet will be the sham heterosexual marriages of closeted gays and lesbians. I think there is great potential to achieve more.

Asian Americans are amongst the strongest supporters of equality in America – this helps to destroy the myth that equality is ‘against Asian culture.’
