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. What you may not know is that he's also one of Cha's most well-known openly gay fluencers, wh more than 1 ln followers on the Che social media platform, Weibo, along wh over half a ln followers on Instagram.
But wh succs and visibily has also ocsnally e cricism om fans who wish he'd e his platform as one of the few out gay entertaers Cha to be more of an activist for the LGBT muny and speak out on their behalf. Dpe homosexualy beg crimalized 1997 and classified as a mental disorr 2001, social and stutnalized discrimatn agast LGBT dividuals Cha is still rampant. 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. What do mean for a gay man to functn — and even thrive — a culture that still discrimat agast his muny?
INSI THE FIRST PRI PARA—A R PROTT FOR GAY LIBERATN
We lled Fan via WeChat to discs his thoughts on fatherhood, his unlikely rise to stardom, LGBT life Cha, his thoughts on beg a gay fluencer, LGBT activism and more. How has been pursug an entertament reer Cha as a gay man? And after signg wh a Che agency, they were strict about my posts — I wasn't allowed to post anythg gay-related for two and a half years.
That's when my Che gay fans really turned on me bee they felt I'd stopped beg vol for the muny. I don't have to wre nsistently " gets better" or "It don't matter if you're gay or straight" — 's not my method.
