Is that the only requirement to get into the news? Maybe I’ll open a restaurant called “ladyboy loklak” & make it extra salty for uniqueness

Village where ‘love the same’ is embraced
Tabitha Payne visits a village in Prey Veng Province which is home to aging trans couples.
It’s 5:45 in the morning, the sun is just rising over the rice paddies, and a loudspeaker on the skinny, reddish dirt road that runs through Angkrong, Cambodia has already begun blaring traditional Khmer music at top volume. It is a village announcement: today, January 5, at 8am, the commune council, district governors, local monks, and all members of the town are invited to attend a pro-LGBT community event to celebrate the surprising amount of LGBT people living in the agrarian hamlet of an estimated 1,000 people.
Srun Srorn, Cambodia’s prominent LGBT activist who first visited the village in 2010, says he’s never seen anything like it. Usually, according to Srun and Pheung Sophea, both activists with the grassroots local LGBT group, CamASEAN Youth’s Future, LGBT couples in rural areas are rare, especially older ones, and when they do exist, they live villages apart.
Angkrong, a village in Prey Veng Province in Cambodia’s southeast corner, has been home to five couples over the age of 40, two young couples who recently emigrated, another middle-aged couple where one of the partners, a transgender man, passed away just last year, and a transgender monk. All are pairings of transgender men and cisgender women (“cisgender” meaning non-transgender). The couples say they are accepted by the community and local government officials, and claim not to experience discrimination from their neighbours. They refer to one another as husband and wife, irrespective of the fact that gay marriage is not recognised in Cambodian Family Law. Also remarkable is that the couples are all friends who have known each other for years...

Re: Gay in Cambodia
Same-sex discrimination declines
By Phnom Penh Post -
May 21, 2019
The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) released a report on Friday which showed that discrimination against same-sex partners in communities has decreased, but they lack major legal protections.
The report, released in conjunction with the May 17 International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, made numerous references to the 2017 research report entitled Cambodia’s Rainbow Families.
The report said although there was a trend towards acceptance of same-sex couples, CCHR research shows the denial and discrimination contained in the legal framework.

Re: Gay in Cambodia
Shhhh, there's no money in reporting that all is good.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Gay in Cambodia
I'm so annoyed that there's already five pages devoted to this topic and yet I'm a gay, but I'm too drunk to read every topic to give an educated opinion on the topic that I can't really comment.
I will assume that you all love us gays and there's not a problem.
Peace and love xx

I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.
