Perhaps they have higher priorities than minding other people's business.

As a straighto, I enjoy being around gay people. They have a zest for life, particularly the males, and are exaggerated females (the "Flamers"). And they generally seem to like me, possibly because of my genuine acceptance. Evidently, I am obviously non-gay, according to them, which I jokingly take offence to. KoW is one of the most accepting countries I have been in, to the point of ladyboys employed wherever. PC is a bit of a hurdle with new people (my mates give it back with "Duh, I can lift heavy things hur hur) because "queer" was a no-no, now it's part of the acronym. I told one mate that I didn't want to hear about his exploits, to which he took offence and stated "it's alright for you all to discuss your encounters", to which, I agreed. Anyway, this country's impressive acceptance was the point I wanted to raise, and would push them up the developed countries scale, were it part of the criteria.

I properly laughed out loud reading this.
Do you have any black friends too?

LGBT Rights: UN Expert Visits Cambodia
AKP Phnom Penh, January 11, 2023 --  
The UN Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, Mr. Victor Madrigal-Borloz, is visiting Cambodia from Jan. 10 to 20, at the invitation of the Royal Government.

According to United Nations in Cambodia’s press release on Jan. 10, the UN expert will travel to Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Battambang.

“This visit is a key step in the compliance of the mandate to carry out dialogue and seek understanding in relation to the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender-diverse (LGBT) people,” said Mr. Madrigal-Borloz.


The expert will engage with Government authorities, human rights defenders and advocates, religious leaders, and others. He will make note of measures adopted to eradicate violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and hear evidence in relation to remaining gaps and challenges. He will also gather elements to analyse root causes of violence and discrimination, including the impact of social prejudice and intersecting forms of discrimination.

“My assessment will give me grounds to provide advice to the State and other relevant stakeholders,” Mr. Madrigal-Borloz said.

The expert will hold a press conference on Jan. 20 at 3PM local time at Sunway Hotel, to share preliminary findings with the media.

The expert will present his findings and recommendations to the UN Human Rights Council in June 2023.
