Sha'ul really mentions nothing on excluding the torah or the rest of the Tanakh from the Brit Chasadash. People however falsely imply that his writings do.

That is the explicitly narrow definition of the Torah ( as it is excluding the Oral Torah ie the Oral Law).

I wouldn't be saying that, because our friend here has stated a correct fact.

Clearly no one, the "new testament" on the other hand can certainly have issues to be joked about.

I'm not entirely sure why this is a surprise. There have never been laws against homosexuality in Vietnam's history, unlike Western nations such as the US, it was announced in mid-2012 that consultation had begun on introducing SSM and as far back as 2006 anti-discrimination laws have existed that specifically address discrimination against homosexuals.

In 2012 Hanoi hosted its first Gay Pride Parade and in that November a gay wedding between a Japanese and an Irish national took place in the country.
