I think they’re still largely stigmatized, but not to the point of officials obsessing over them and trying to make every piece of legislation about banning them.
I believe China’s health ministry’s web page about STDs/AIDS say that anyone, not just gay people, can contract it, and Vietnam’s health ministry stated that homosexuality or being transgender is not an abnormality, disease, mental illness, etc. I believe Vietnam is one of the few countries that have legislation that affirm people’s new gender identity.
In my experience, older Vietnamese tend to tolerate LGBT people, young people are fine with it, conservatives and nationalists obviously are more hateful as usual (usually related to perceptions of a weak military). There’s stigma, but no danger in most places in the country. There are a few big game shows with trans contestants participating regularly and trans beauty pageants in the country.
