Well from what I personally witnessed, there's a lot of Tokenism and gatekeeping: LGBT is only truly accepted if it falls within the "acceptable by the majority" framework. So sassy gay male fan: OK. Fantasizing about stud oppa who only like his members but not other men or women: OK. But beyond that I've seen more of ambivalence or even hostility towards transwomen, lesbians and queer men who fall outside the tokenist framework. How were your experiences like in the kpop fan community?
