Jingthing Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 These objections are rather dumb. Generally speaking LGBT tourists and expats have money to spend. If you owned a restaurant would you rather have a table going for the budget set meal or a rich table that orders richly? Not rocket science.

That's the only identity that matters. The methods people use to have sex doesn't matter one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTripper Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) A lot of older gay couples don’t have much sex at all, but they are in satisfying stable relationships. They also seem to be well off. I think this is in part because many don’t have children or never raised children. That saves a ton of money over the long term.

I've got gay friends who are perfectly normal, integrated and happy in their own skins. They tell me that there's no such thing as a LGBTQIA "community", in fact most of them keep to themselves about what they do in private. "Pink economy" is just another woke marketing stunt. And why does everything have to be related to sex? Why not add an O to the end of LGBTQIA, so that ornithologists are included?

As said when countries try to attract LGBT tourists and expats of course they're seen as a bigger spending demographic and that's the reason. Also for trans people specifically Thailand has a large medical tourism industry for gender change surgeries.

On the one hand, they say genitals don't define gender (e.g. when a man can use the ladies changing rooms or toilets, "It's not a man's penis, it's a woman's penis.") Then, on the other hand, they prescribe gender affirming surgery which includes cutting off genitals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
