Thailand seems to be really open to homosexual people every day and this really mounts the number of those queers. Tonight, MIss Tiffany’s Universe Contest #11 was held in Chonburi, Pattaya, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand. It’s been more than 10 years the country has held this kind of beauty contest. What on earth the point is?!?!?!
I was watching the contest as I just washed my hair so I couldn’t go to bed. Anyway, I heard the MC informing the objectives of the Miss Tiffany Contest; To promote the country’s famous spot - Pattaya to be an international attraction. To break the gap between straight and homosexual persons, or to say try to urge people to sincerely accept the way the queers are. The winner will be representing Thailand in the Miss International Queen 2008 which will also be taken place in Thailand.
I’m not against them or anything but for me, the 30 finalists still look maculine, well, not that much manly but they are obviously lads!
Some of the questions for them;
Q: Can homosexual people work in politics?
A: Of course as we are humans who are as valuable as others.
Q: Do you think using a gay character on TV soap opera really influence more people to become a transvestite?
A: Being a gay is not that easily passed from one person to others but it’s a subconscious in childhood. Also, please do not act like we are a fool particularly in the media.
Q: In school, if you were required to wear a boy school uniform and have your hair cut, what would you do?
A: I would absolutely abide by the school rules. Though we are gay, we are educated as well as other men.
Q: If you win the contest, who are you abruptly going to in the next morning?
A: I will go to see my parents to thank them for giving me birth and for not reprimanding me for being like this.

I’m not against homosexuality. Such contest is a good way to promote Thailand to be a tourist hub in the region, or at least that’s what they perceive. The wo-men look cute and so happy in the lime-light. Just hope that their life behind the curtain is somewhat joyful, truly.

This is a word that shocked me from an interview last night “Today the real men are less than 10 or 20 %(something) in the class room” - the talk show “Tee Sib”(at 10).
