I will not repeat just for you.

The old homos are pedos canard directly comparable to antisemitic blood libel. The fascists have really gone big time on this hysteria -- suggesting Pride flags are grooming and 1000 other things they call grooming that are not grooming.

Yes, never required. Just the exact same options under the law.

I think it will always be needed. You can change laws but you can't force people to not be homophobic.

Yes, also to the terrorist Proud Boys -- Stand Back and Stand By

There are specific civil rights demands that have not been met. That's not silly.

Such as watch this Depends on the specific families. Of course you have the freedom. What's a cult? Pride month? Having a LGBTQ identity? I don't think so.

It varies country by country. The stated goals of Thai LGBT activists were seen in pride parade here. Marriage equality Right to change gender on IDs Legalization of prostitution Better access to LGBT relevant health care

I guess some don't want gays to be uppity.

Who is we?

So you oppose equal civil rights. Not impressed.

I'm not very interested in religions including Buddhism but maybe someone knowledgeable can answer. Is it true that many Thai Buddhists believe being gay or transgender is punishment for misdeeds in past lives?

Best we just agree to disagree.

There are not many countries with full legal equality. It's not only about marriage. In the US the legal situation is going backwards rapidly thanks to the maga fascists. Hate crimes on the increase as well. The civil union vs marriage debate is ancient history in most places so won't dignify it. It's true other groups face hate crimes Other groups may have ways of expressing themselves such as Black History month. Other groups don't face what is very often a trauma and crisis with family, friends, co-workers etc. called COMING OUT. Pride is especially meaningful to people facing difficult coming out experiences. People are often forced out before its safe for them. Pride developed directly from the Stonewall riots. It is now a major International cultural political phenomenon.

I read a hostile rant.

It knows no bounds. Even in how their regime treats their own people.

But it's overwhelmingly a white nationalist party now. Plus straight Christian.

These people. Started off nice. Ended with a rant

Pride is about LGBT freedom and civil rights. Even in the most advanced nations LGBT people still face homophobia even from their own families and certainly from religions.

Which religion?

On some things. Not on others.

F-rangs tend to be fooled by superficial stuff.

No comment about Putin stealing Crimea in 2014?

Definitely not a LGBTQ paradise. But well short of throwing people off buildings. The Thai LGBTQ civil rights movement is now working hard to bring about equality.

Weird reply. I said he's smart enough to rebuff Nazi support, and that's your reply?!? He is a fascist. You don't need to be a Nazi to be a fascist.
