I am a 23-year-old closeted gay man. Should I study in Australia or stay in Hong Kong?
I am a 23-year-old closeted gay man. I am orginally from Hong Kong. I have been an accounting student in an Australian university for 2 years. Looking back these 2 years, I have been struggling with my own sexuality and my accounting course. It has been a torture for me. I've found I am not an accounting material.Now, my university ask me to discontinue my course and I go back to Hong Kong. I wanna do a new degree course majoring in Italian and Spanish in Australia.(I've self-studied both language for 3 years and really enjoy the experience.Also I've collected Italian and Spanish music for 2 years.Love it) My parents say they will support me whether I do it in Australia or HK.However, I've got a feeling that they prefer me to do it in HK.But they don't mind if I do it in Australia. However, my parents are homophobic. After being in denial for 2 year, I've come out to all my Australian friends who are all gay-friendly. But not my parents yet since I'm afraid they'll cut off my sponsor 1 day ago Additional Details 1 day ago I compared degree courses in Australia and Hong Kong, I prefer the Australian one. I have a lot more friends in Australia. I have no friends here in Hong Kong , except living with homophobic mum and dad. In order to have a good social life for a gay man, should I stay in HK or go to Australia ?

Crikey, mate! Stay in the land down unda, study Italian and hook up with a hot lifeguard! Seriously, the time has come to take control of your life and do what's right for you. I'm 1/2 Japanese so I understand the whole "obligation to one's parents" thing but dude, you've got your OWN life. LIVE it! Ciao, Bello!

Go to Australia or San Francisco. Hong Kong may not be as liberal yet.
