    Sheesh , so many of these mega pianists are gay. Anyway  issues on communism religion or culture in war torn nation is usually a touchy subject best avoided. So many people have been shot or killed this way.

It is their very avoidance which brings fruition to the prevalence of ignorance.

As I understand the situation, Hough will not play in Vietnam because his sponsor doesn't give the money. So we see how art is governed by the money world. Really sad...

oh, so he's going to pay for the air tickets and accommodation out of his own pocket, to go somewhere he might be killed?
I somehow doubt that it's just for the money. Anyways, you need money. Would you go to Vietnam and give a recital for no money?

Seems that you didn't quite understand my argueing  Roll Eyes

I don't say, that Hough should play in Vietnam, if he don't want to.
I don't say, that Hough should not get money from sponsors.

I say: he does not get the money, because his sponsors don't like Hough's Website.

It seems obvious to me that it's a bare-faced white lie from the sponsor, that they try to protect him from being attacked. I'm curious, if this company will sponsor Hough in the future in any country...  Roll Eyes

Sorry, counterpoint! i understand now. I apologise.
Yes, I agree that large organisations in general have an unhealthy disrespect for individuals.

That's another question.

If Hough could decide freely, if he wants to play there or not - that would have been the best solution. But he was not even asked what he wants to do, if I understand the article the right way.

I think Hough believes (rightly) that the Vietnamese authorities' handling of the situation is not entirely rational. It's a real shame that a country that is seeking closer ties to the West would take a step in the wrong direction with such seemingly ill-founded and discriminatory policies.

considering how homophobic the US is, I doubt it would have any effect.

suggesting that a government's fear of gays would be a step in the wrong direction for diplomacy is silly, I can't remember the US ever publicly denouncing another country based on sexuality issues- and the US already does business with countries with much worse violations of human rights

So you expect him to perform for no pay??. Would you work for no wages??
