Culture in Bangkok

[Oliver2]

Thanks frequent. I look forward to seeing you as a member of the Pattaya Faction of Gay Revolutionaries.
However,I'm not needed as an organiser; its arranged by others in the gay community. Very well-received by onlookers, too.. There's an active group fighting Pink-Washing here in London. You can see us at the annual Gay Pride marches in London. Plenty of Palestinian and Rainbow flags are always on display. Next year I'm taking my PFLP one....just received from a comrade in Ramallah. Rather battle-scarred, I'm afraid, but all the more poignant for that.
We announced ourselves as a group to be reckoned with when (about ten years ago) Tel Aviv was named as Gay City of the Year...or something like that. It was announced at the end of the march in Trafalgar Square and was received by a chorus of boos and hundreds of Palestinian flags being raised in the air. An Israeli singer on the stage was astonished.
He learnt something about Londoners that day. Just as Trump will on Tuesday....if he didn't already know.

No Palestine Gay Pride actually in Palestine then? All rather gutless

no but there is a Gay Pride Palestine, it is organised by The Palestine Popular Front for Liberation (PPFL) , a splinter group that broke away from the PFLP in Tel Aviv 10 years ago and is aligned I think with the Judean People's Front - not to be confused with the FPLP splinter group which is aligned with the Peoples Front of Judea? or is that the Judean People’s Popular Front?

it is all too confusing, and they are all just a bunch of naughty boys anyway!

BACC (Bangkok Art and Culture Center)
MOCA (Museum of contemporary art)
and you are lucky, there are German language movies for free in Goethe institute in Dec-Jan-Feb every year, and I assume other embassies or cultural institutes have similar events.
And there will be Bangkok Street Festival and Thailand Tourism Festival in Lumpini park in January.

Of course! We wouldn't want "Culture" cluttering up such a vibrant forum.

It's also normal to add a link to the new location, when moving threads.

Once upon a time "Gay Thailand" meant Gay+Thailand, nowadays anything about Thailand that isn't specifically "gay" gets shunted off to "Everything Else"
