There’s a new type of retiree called the “flaming retiree”.

Flaming?

Haven't you outgrown such moronic slurs?

"...pink economy ...."  I thought that was those sympathizing with the Communist, pinkos.

If they got money.

Before launching into this kind of thing, can we have a reasonably definitive survey of just how many LGBT people there are in society nowadays? Nobody has the slightest idea. For years I've been maintaining that it is about 30% (including those so deep in the closet that they are in denial), but I hear some people still believe it is as low as 2% which is patently absurd.

This is a huge issue for society now. We really need to know what we are dealing with.

Nope.

 

... Followed by a general increase in the financial requirements for retirees to 1.2 million Baht as a performance bond..."

 

Worse yet, those bank accounts are only insured up to one million in case of bank failure.

So what's the proper word to identify that type of person? Or are you saying we are not allowed to have one?

Let's not jump the gun.

No such changes as yet.

Pass legislation to allow same-sex couple to marry.  That will bring them.  The daughter of good friends of mine has been living with her girl-friend for over a decade.  I'm sure they would come here if they could get a legal marriage.

They would make a lot of cash from 'travel to paradise Thailand and have an expsnsive over the top gay wedding on the tropical beach'

 

They are missing out not allowing gay marriage. It would bring jobs and lots of money.

They would love that. Next it will be black out blinds on the windows when a rainbow appears in the sky.  

 

They want the kids to have bibles in school which contains stories of genocide, mass murder, rape, how to manage your slaves, underage sex, incest and animal cruelty etc....but are horrified the darling children might read a story book with a gay penguin in it lol.

Fairy or flamer, depending on the personality.

 

Flamer - More aggressive, possibly violent if slighted. Homosexual acting, obvious, flaunting, loud.

 

Fairy - Submissive, quiet, subdued, homosexual acting, can be feminine.

 

Straight Edge - Homosexual, but heterosexual or neutral acting. You can’t really tell unless you study them closely over time. There’s usually some sort of facial expression that gives it away.

How dare you? I am asking a civil question in the hope of an instructive answer. Please tell us what language you would like us to use, or stop dictating the terms of society to everyone else.

 

Most gays from the Usa would goto Mexico if they moved from, say the San Francisco Bay Area or Florida, or anywhere else really if they wanted to leave the states.

 

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is REALLY gay, along with many of the other resort towns as well. If your a single guy there you would likely be viewed as gay and not there for women.

 

I think Thailand could see some traffic as well but most gays from the USA would not really be comfortable in Thailand, at least not the younger hip affluent crowd. Thailand is too grungy for them. Maybe some of the older gays would come. I saw some in patpong in Bangkok but they seemed out of place in a way. Most would go someplace like Mexico. I think there are some living in Jomtein as well near boyztown.

 

I think the fairies would come to Asia, maybe, but not the flamers. Flamers would like Mexico better.

So what if they open all these extra clinics then all the added LGBTQ come but they don’t bring their STD and HIV and only bring their AC/DC?

So those are the two categories of gay people to you -- fairies and flamers?

Such ignorant and vile bigotry.

You're right that Puerto Vallarta has a lot of gay tourists and expats and locals.

It's a great place but has gotten expensive, too hot in summer, sometimes crocodiles in the water, and seasonal risk of hurricanes.

I'm not so convinced we need to know the prevalence of gay people in society.  Why does in matter?  What we need to do is treat those who are gay (LBTQ+) with respect and acceptance.

 

Were we more accepting it would be  far easier to get a sense of numbers because we would be removing the major reason people hide.

Yeah these bigots think it's socially acceptable even approved to trash gay people.

Maybe they're right. Homophobia is certainly rampant on this forum.

Stunning isn't it? 'Targeting' this group, 'targeting' that group, 'targeting'  a hokey kokey of different groups every day of the week almost - purely as a source of revenue. It's embarrassing. Too many liquid lunches methinks.

OK, so I finally read the OP

 

I thought they were going to offer tourist or retirement discounts for the alphabet folks.  Hey, I can say I'm a trans woman for 25% discount at the hotel or condo sale.  

 

So I'm living with a women, guess that makes me lesbian .... cool.

 

I was wrong, news-blip is implying, A-folks must be more prone to HIV & STDs, as they should have better access to healthcare.  ????  Healthcare here is already easily accessible, and one of the perks of living here.

 

If I was part of the A society, I'd be pissed about the 'they're diseased' implication.  W T F is up with that.  Insult me, then tell me they are here for you ????

Are they legally married in the country they currently reside?

Living together for over a decade, and they would move to TH, just for a piece of paper.

 

That piece of paper doesn't give straight couples any benefits, worth uprooting your life for.

 

If anything, it's a negative when you decide not to be together any more.  If you don't get married, then there is no worries about an expensive, life changing divorce.

 

They should count their blessings.
