Are you Homophobic?

... why should we adhere to it if it doesn't make sense?

You hold yourself out to be an intelligent person - although someone who fails to understand the difference between "troll master" and "master troll" - so surely you know that every religion from Buddhism to Zoroastrianism is predicated on the opposite of that principle?

I dissagree, these events are a crossection of gay people, you only see the queens as they are the most conspicuous, hopefully a time will come when these events by the gay community are no longer relevant.

Speaking of gay pride parades, who are the Thais who participate in them? I know gay Thais from different walks of life and none of them have any interest in these events or have participated in them. Some have not even heard of them. So who are the Thais who take part in Thai gay pride events?

My fault that I facilitated a misunderstanding.
Effeminacy is neither good or bad; it just is.
The bad idea is that people get the view that effeminacy=gay which does not hold. Anecdotal is not sound evidence I admit but I know a few effeminate men who are not Gay and many gay men who are not effeminate.

From my experience in Thailand, those guys who participate in Pride events are mostly working within the gay-related industries (bars, hotels, restaurants, etc), the "gay scene". And/or they are the partners of gay expats who enjoy being "on the scene".

On the other hand, there are "non-scene-gays" who are completely 'out' to their family, friends, co-workers and the like. Yet they keep clear of Pride for fear they might be seen and associated with the 'gay scene', and all that that can infer.
