Thai + gay + Muslim

You were born one and you'll die one.

In all fairness, being executed for apostasy might have something to do with the fidelity you cite.

More than my fair share of Thai friends were muslims.

You intrigue me. Only 4.9 percent of Thai are Muslim and are heavily concentrated in the South. If, "more then" you "fair share" of Thai friends have been Muslim you are unique indeed. Actually what is the fair share?

All else being equal, I would have expected about 5% of my acquaintances to be Muslim; for me, it was closer to 20%. I have no explanation---I did not seek them out. This was when I taught English over 25 years ago. Since I have started coming back in the last four years, I am not sure that I have met any.

Well, what intrigues me is Paborn's avatar.
On first look (but not too long, and I know Paborn is rather dainty) I thought it was a Thai guy getting ready to be rimmed from behind.
I know I know, a Dirty Mind you say ... but one can't deny, or undo, first discoveries of any kind.
Take a quick look, and I cannot believe that ~ knowing this group ~ I'm the only who has not taken a second look "to be sure".

Perhaps that bird is nothing more than 'animalia dominus anallingus'?

Probably time for that cataract operation Smiles

Poor Smiles, there was a time when classical learning was a fundamental discipline; I'm sorry that time is over. To connect this avatar tih anything other than Ganymede and Zeus personified as an Eagle is - well, just sad.

And it was just a short time ago, on June 20th, 2018, that you informed us at post #58 on the Thai Buddhism today topic:

. . . My avatar of Ganymede with Zeus displays my willingness to accept pleasant myths. Perhaps, I just can't affirm the horrendous, hateful God of the Judeo-Christian world.

[francois]

Yes, Ganymede, the boy lover of Zeus and cupbearer to the gods. One can google Ganymede and Zeus for some more revealing images.

[arsenal]

A straight Thai boy playing Ganymede to my Zeus. That could be a fantastic role play off. Oh hang on....most of my offs are like that.

exactly, why else do I travel?
