    Thailand is quite conservative, but in a different way compared to the West. Our right-wing people are royalists who strongly support the monarchy and wish to preserve it at all costs. Meanwhile, our left-wing people want to reform the monarchy and limit its power.

    Since the pre-Islamic era, the Bugis people have recognised five genders. They divide the society into man (oroane), woman (makkunrai), male woman (calabai), female man (calalai) and androgynous priest (bissu). They converted to Islam in the 1600s and kept their five gender culture. They make up only about 3.5 million of the 275 million population of Indonesia. the fact that hey have this as the cultural norm tells me Islam itself doesn't need to be anti gay.

      As Indonesian i have to say that Trans people (specificly Trans Women) has been a part of Indonesian culture for the longest time.
      It is so ingraned in our culture so much so that it still has roots in the most Islamic section of the country such as Sumatra and Java.
      However the sentiment of Trans people never goes beyond just kinks and/or se*ualzation. It is a known public secret that Straight and Bi Men have some sort of experiences with Trans Women. From looking at Corn of them to having intimate session with them.
      But when they are asked for their support of LGBT+ rights, they are hesitant to out right denying. Eventhough those men have experienced with Trans Women before.
      It is sad state to see, that a long historical culture is being deny of existence by another culture that decided to conquer the land.

      Don't mistake the localized tolerance of ladyboys for widespread acceptance of queerness. Ladyboys and other queer people still face plenty of discrimination in such a conservative society. But there is a space for it all to happen, and Thai people generally just shrug and accept it.

      Wanna know a more insane fact. Before British rule and Islam turning conservative in India, homosexuality was seen as a normal joyous act and trans people were not only accepted but normal. Look at the laws now, What a mess. Illiterate Hindutva upholding a known, outwardly expressing, gender fluid deity and being anti trans has to be actual illiteracy.

      It's kinda like how people with disabilities have to clown on themselves so that other people without disabilities they meet feel that they're in a safe space and thus easily end up saying the most insane shit that the person with disabilities is unable to protest since that would make the self-depreciation fake.
      As for "it's just taking the word back," that fails too. Just look at how the N-word is used with an A. People with a racist belief, at least if they're smart about it, will use the A-version as a dog whistle and then claim plausible deniability that they never met the hard R version, and people will have to abide by that or they'll be the unreasonable ones.
      Vaush himself is an example of this as in an earlier stream he went over a woman, who has insane levels of racist ideology, who was clearly using the soft-A version as a dog whistle for the hard-R and was, "I'm unable to understand why she was fired for using the soft-A?" This is because the plausible deniability is supposed to create a fake context that makes people ignore the real context.
      It's much better to force people to answer uncomfortable questions that expose their ideology, like:
      "How come you think it's a sin?"
      And then when answer because it's in the Bible, then you ask then.
      "How come you think our standards should be influenced by a book written over 2000 years ago?"
      You keep going and going until they either have to shut up because they realise that answering will make them look really bad, or more realistically, they unintentionally go mask-off.

    For people who are Thai, they feel indifferent about this event because I have a neighbor who has been openly gay for 20 years.
    A fact that most Westerners really don't know Thais do have gay people Transgender people of various genders that is normally disclosed to the public Without having to be afraid at all for more than a decade
    Most Thai LGBT people play important roles in the movie industry.
    As for whether the king is gay or not, I don't know. Because I don't want to be hit by the law.
    The position of the royal family in Thailand To put it simply, invisible hand No matter which party we vote for. The royal family would have more supreme power than the constitution anyway.
    Political situation in Thailand After there had been no elections for almost 8 years because of the coup. This episode is pretty good. The royal family was already somewhat considerate of the people.

    My neighbors are a male couple who have been together for 45 years and adopted a baby 10 years ago. The two of them got married in Holland in 1977 in a Buddhist temple and have been waiting for recognition in Thailand ever since... Waiting 45 years is enough...
    Communists, fascists and Sky Daddy worshipers are more of a curse than a blessing for all human rights, women's rights and rights for minorities such as LGBTQ+ people.,.
    We just have to look who hasn't signed the UN human rights law, e.g.: the Muslim states, Ghana, Uganda, China, North Korea and also the Vatican State refused to sign the human rights law...

    Gay people have been widely accepted in Thailand for a while. The occasional "Hah, gay" joke, but we do that in the West as well. My understanding is that it's mostly because of buddhism, which doesn't care about it as opposed to the Abrahamic religions, combined with the fact hat that Thailand was never colonized by a Western country, so it got even less influence on that front than, say, Vietnam or Cambodia or Myanmar (although I'm less familiar with the culture of these countries than I am about the Thai one).
    The complicated thing is kathoeys, often referred to as ladyboys even though it's kind of a slur (it's complicated). On first glance, they're relatively well accepted by the Thai society, but if you look deeper, they're generally thought of as being, by default, s*x workers, and it can create friction if a kathoey instead goes for an office or factory job. I have known HR people who discriminated against kathoeys because they thougt it would create friction, with the gendered bathrooms and whatnot. The family might also not like it, but that might be because they're thinking that by default it means their kid is going to be a s*x worker, and they may not want that, even though prostitution is widely accepted in Thailand (illegal on paper, but nothing is ever enforced).
    But gay people specifically, I've never really seen any Thai people having a problem with it. If there's any bigotry, I haven't been exposed to it. I'm not surprised by the news that they're legalizing gay marriage, I know it's been in the work for a long time. Good for them.
    (I'm not Thai, I'm French, but have lived in Thailand for many years, just for the record. This is my vision based on my interactions and discussions with different people about these topics, so it may not be completely accurate. Just leaving this here)

      Regarding the military, they have been in power on and off for a long time, at the moment the government is a civil one (since last year). The king is more or less separated from that though, he's still the supreme executive authority regardless of whether the prime minster is a general or a civilian, and whenever you hear of a coup in Thailand, it's not an overthrowing of the king, it's an overthrowing of the government (generally of a previous civil government by the military who then assumes power, like in 2014).

    The King is not a mouthpiece of the military, or even the bourgeoisie (as some Thai socialists believe). The King is the source of political legitimacy (the only time a coup d'etat failed was when the King was prevented from signing it), is his own political force, has his own actual military command, owns major stocks of many massive corporations, is the biggest landlord in Bangkok (most malls pay rent to him). Before it could look like the King holds no actual power, as all of this only happened after the last coup d'etat in 2014, when all royal properties were transferred to private ownership, and the royal guard strengthened.

    As a Thai member of the LGBTQIA, I am extremely happy about this, and being able to have equal rights and protection under legal matter. This is a huge win and is very happy to celebrat pride in my home. What i am concern about now is the comercialisation and profit making of these policies by companies and the goverment or so call "rainbow washing" without genuinely caring about the issue of queers and similarly the marginalised minorities of Thailand. I during the past months i have seen brands,banks, politician or any one that could benifits from the profits gains putting up rainbow in their products and hiring attractive celebrity (who might not even identify as members of LGBT) to pose as queer as marketing campain towards us. They have never defended us when we were facing negative consequences of the laws and bigoted actions from society and such so on. But guess who is at the front of Bangkok Pride 2024? Major cooperations, and polititians? Instead of letting the communities being in the fore front of the issue. Let us not forget about how we got here and continues the fight for basic humans rights for all and continue the movement for all magenalised groups of people. 🏳️‍🌈
