* gay party edison *
Edison Fan, the world’s leadg gay Asian fluencer, shar his g out story and his take on the recent backlash he faced for voicg out on BLM. As the world’s leadg gay Asian fluencer, my next terviewee is certaly not immune to that prsure.
Wh such a formidable followg, Edison Fan is arguably the world’s leadg gay Asian fluencer. As one of Cha’s few openly gay public figur, that expectatn is unrstandable.

At the same time, Cha is also a untry that's churng out progrsive tools like BluedBaby (an app that nnects gay Che parents wh surrogat Ameri) and has a vol LGBT muny mandg equal, addg further plexy, Cha is currently the midst of rtcturg s entertament dtry (crackg down on both the famo y-yang ntracts that lead to Fan Bgbg's arrt as well as more heavily censorg hip-hop lyricism, for example). So a untry where gay dividuals still suffer stigma and entertaers are startg to be more firmly sctized by the ernment, 's unrstandable why public figur like Fan may choose to have a more ntral web prence as well as why some crics might see him as beg plic.
