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-. 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.
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. 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.
LGBTQ+ TRAVEL IN THAILAND – THE ULTIMATE GAY TRAVEL GUI
* being gay in thailand *
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. 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.
GAY THAILAND
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.
Thai people do not talk to the fay about sex, so is mon that a homosexual man has never explaed at home that he is.
