Real Faces, Real People, Real Love in Vietnam

Vietnamese photographer Maika Elan takes intimate portraits of gay couples in Vietnam. From the artist: "The 'acceptance' of the nature of homosexuality is mostly based on sympathy, ignorance or even contempt. There has not been any recognition and/or encouragement of homosexuality as human right to love and to be loved... I want to show that their loving and caring for each other is nothing deviant."
