The new open-mindedness is attributed to Theravada Buddhism, the predominant religion in Cambodia. тАЬWhen youтАЩre looking at Buddhist countries, youтАЩre going to encounter an openness and tolerance,тАЭ said Caroline Francis, a spokeswoman for the Cambodia field office of Family Health International, a public health organization involved with gay-related health issues. тАЬThe religious teachings arenтАЩt being used to arrest or persecute people because theyтАЩre gay or lesbian.тАЭ
