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.

Russia wasn't communist in 2014. Nice try. No cigar.

Long ago history. You won't find even one KKK that's a democrat now. There's your facts.

Yeah, but I think DeSantis is smart enough to rebuff their support if asked. Trump would say -- some of them are good people.

Reactionaries are nothing new in the world. Resistance to change and absorbing new information is par for the course.

DeSantis is on record as saying his presidential campaign is about making America Florida. He must be defeated as must the grand maga poobah Citizen Trump.

Hopefully you'll stop being so disingenuous and acknowledge that calling the GOP maga party a fascist party is not saying they are mostly literal Nazis. Of course they aren't. I think you well understand that you don't need to be a literal Nazi to be a fascist. Like DeSantis.
