GAYS THAILAND: IS A LGBT IENDLY UNTRY FOR TOURISM?

The prence of Boys Love seri, a unique drama genre that picts homoerotic relatnships between male characters, has creased signifintly recent years.

It was probably the first time Thai entertament history that two boys wh homosexual clatns were featured the lead. Thai Boys Love is a lol appropriatn of yaoi, the Japan-origatg form of homoerotic fictn that revolv around the romantic narrativ between a mascule boy (lled “e”) and a more feme boy (lled “seme”). Uta Boonorana, a medil doctor who’s also an LGBTQ fictn thor known by his psdonyms, Patrick Rangsimant and Mor Tood (“Homo Doctor” Thai).

He’s also the md behd GMMTV’s LGBTQ productns, many of which have been praised for their plex and thought-provokg narrativ, cludg Gay OK Bangkok. Thailand is one of the bt statns the world for gay tourism.

Obvly there is still room for improvement, but the attu towards homosexualy Thailand is que open.

I have been to que a few untri, and no other have I seen homosexuals live their sexual orientatn so openly. The reason is that, although daily life Thailand lbians, gays and transgenr people live wh total normaly, Thai law is not as liberal as most of the society. In Thailand, homosexual marriage do not exist for now -although the bate over s legalizatn has been on the table for some time-.

In short, Thailand is an ial statn for gay tourists. I’d say ’s the bt statn for gay travelers all of Asia.

Gays Thailand, an opn by Albert Bosch. Homosexualy Thailand and s ntradictns. More stutnal homophobia.

The tolerance of Thai society means that gays, lbians and trans -men and women alike- have a relatively ee life to live and exprs themselv as they are. Maly for gay men, Thailand and pecially Bangkok are a ltle paradise. And surely that is why Bangkok attracts lns of gay tourists, immigrants and expats search of fun, a eer life or a relatnship that their untri of orig would be rejected, clanste or simply impossible.

GAY BANGKOK

Although the are nothg but sensatns or beliefs whout much foundatn, this n be extend to gay men, or to anyone who mov away om the heteronormative non. A mon practice Thailand is to mix gays and kathoeys, tarrg them all wh the same bsh. One time I told a taxi driver that I was gay, and he asked me if I drsed as a woman or if I wanted to be a woman.

Over time I realized that Thailand many thk of gay and kathoey the same way.

In fact, this type of discrimatn is rerced by the image that Thai media giv of gay men: ivolo, obssed wh any man who pass by, humoro and foul-mouthed. Gays also have their own lol specifici.

The gay ncept is actually imported om the Wt and is que flexible, so sometim overlaps even wh that of kathoey. For example, a gay man Thailand may say that he is not a ‘man’, meang that he is not a heterosexual man. It don’t occur to me that a Wtern gay man would say the same thg, or accept that the term ‘male’ only appli to straight men.

Also, many gay people Thailand tend to intify themselv strongly wh an ‘active’ or ‘passive’ role, somethg that seems que old-fashned the Wt, but not Thailand.

The realy may not be that simple, and realy many gay Thais are versatile, but self-intifitn wh an ‘active’ or ‘passive’ role will help them troduce themselv and relate to their gay iends a particular way. Do Thai gays e out of the closet Thailand?
