When news spread around the entire Buddhist muny that he was homosexual, the Buddha was alerted to the problem and he issued a le for the muny not to give any ordatn to a homosexual, and those ordaed gays are to be expelled.

Acrdg to their explanatns, all homosexuals and sexual viants were once offenrs of the Third Precept (prohibg sexual misnduct) _ at least their past liv, and they mt pay off their past ss their prent life. Assumg a gay or bisexual inty is also a new, if not foreign, ncept; for example, there is no translatn or the equivalent Thai word for “gay, ” and as of 1996, the nstct “sexual orientatn” had not been translated even for amic e.

Acrdg to “Encyclopedia of Sexualy: Thailand”: “In Thai society today, men who have sex wh men are eher gay kg or gay queen: A gay kg is a man who plays the sertive role sex, whereas a gay queen tak a passive and receptive role sex.

Gay kgs are also varly referred to as “one-hundred percent male” (phuu-chaai roi poe-sen) and “a plete man” (phuu-chaai tem tua) (Jackson 1989), which reflects the belief that the sertive homosexual sex act do not jeopardize one's masculy. The ia that gay kgs are nfed or adventuro heterosexuals n be seen many Thai movi and fictn about gay relatnships wh a tragic endg, when the gay kg hero leav a vastated gay queen to marry a woman. For many other upl, however, male romantic and sexual relatnships adhere closely to the heterosexual mol of sex rol: fact, a gay kg almost always pairs wh a gay queen, and Thais fd difficult to prehend if two gay kgs or two gay queens would settle down together.

Followg the tradnal Thai heterosexual relatnship which prcrib monogamy the women and sexual eedom the men, gay kgs also have a tenncy to seek out sexual pleasur outsi their relatnship wh a gay queen. The mood is a b like the Castro San Francis or Christopher Street New York Cy the 1970s, when gay men were havg too much fun liberatg themselv to be standoffish – before weightliftg and attu replaced motach and cisg. Until the late 1980s, the only regular media verage on homosexualy was an advice lumn the wily popular tabloid Plaek (“Strange”) tled Chiiw Sao Chao Gay (“The Sad Liv of Gays”) which Go Paaknaam, a straight-intified lumnist, published letters about sexual and relatnship problems om men who have sex wh men (Allyn 1991).

In the meantime, Thai mastream media, pecially newspaper and magaz, have creased accurate reprentatns of gay life, as well as progrsive treatis on homosexualy, although sensatnalistic verage is still mon. Allyn further not that, “Over the past two s, superficial aspects of Wtern, particularly Amerin gay culture, have been imported to a certa gree but, as the kgdom tradnally has done, by adaptatn, not adoptn”.
