Ahead of this year’s Miss Universe pageant, 20-year-old Swe Zin Htet made the brave decision to come out as gay, despite same-sex relationships still being criminalised in her home country Myanmar.
As I said about Malaysia: Boycott Indonesia, abolish Shariah law, and cane the ring leaders in Indonesia that are perpetuating this travesty of crimes against humanity.
If every Muslim who was gay, was caned, at least 20% of the Muslim population would have to be caned. The Muslim community has a VERY LARGE gay population because of their culture and I have met many Muslim men, and their first sex was with their fathers or an uncle. SUCH HIPOCRITS.
My trip to Malaysia at the end of Jan 2020 now will not happen. I am happy to boycott a cruel inhumane country. I guess the government feels it is in the 12th century. To all Gay men and women if that country, the United Nations and over 140 countries are with you and the present government will find more and more people stop coming to visit. Keep up the fight.
So very sad to see this in 2019...a backwards country for sure and one that I will never visit. Once again religion is at the heart of this problem as others have said. With other countries moving forward in LGBTQ rights its time this one too catches up and leaves the horrible past behind.
Tourist slogan "Malaysia truly Asia" is so far off the TRUTH. This response to LGBT people indicates that "Malaysia truly Crazier" might be more appropriate. I have been to Malaysia many times - but NEVER again. The only good to come of this is to highlight a criminal administration and to give us in the the "West" ammunition against allowing Shariah law to have any credibility in our countries. Boycott Malaysia!
As usual, religion is being used as an excuse to legitimize persecution. History is full of other examples. The fact that bigotry and persecution are actually contrary to the dogma of religion(s) does nothing to dissuade authorities from their hateful actions. A boycott of Malaysia is certainly an obvious response, but I fear will be far from effective.
A beautiful song and a beautiful guy. These conservative Asian (or any) businesses need to get a life and embrace diversity. Screw homophobic traditions. We have made such discrimination illegal in New Zealand.
i think that if the event just for dancing and music, then you are not realistic
there must be diversity events because people came to Bangkok/Thailand was not for one day only in majority.
its look like you make generalitization that all gays just for dancing
as i met gay from europe.
Here there must be facilitator for many purpose of visit.
if you see realistic and deep understanding, the events is not for solely dancing.
but thankful event that why you gay should give honor, and giving to society. be aware
two things in her son's letter that were very painful for mum
"mum, I wish I died the day I was born so that I didn't create all the social issues for you."
"Had I been born a disable child you would have loved and protected me every day, but because I was born gay you could have never forgiven for that"
Yeah Singapore is always on top as usual. Keep up the great work. By the way I read something very interesting about men health https://www.dtapclinic.com/mens-health/ and wanted to share. Hope it will help. Cheers!
Baby Steps....Baby Steps. Open-mindedness is something that doesn't come easy in a traditional society. Kudos to the people of Vietnam for trying to make a difference in their future for the LGBT community!!!!
Visas: la justice hongkongaise donne raison à un couple de lesbiennes

I don't see a problem here as only the upper torsos of both men were showing so there is no nudity involved and it was only "implied" sex. But it was gay so they want to probably make an example of the two by drawing it out into the public by fining and imprisoning these guys to show how perverted same-sex couples act. If this had happened to a heterosexual couple it wouldn't go any farther more than likely.
