White Australian writes book on Thai male homosexuality, September 24, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Dear Uncle Go: Male Homosexuality in Thailand (Paperback)
I absolutely hate the way people think that the only gay-affirming society that ever existed was Ancient Greece. It basically assumes first that no modern societies support it and more importantly that no non-Western societies, ancient, modern, (or postmodern) support it either. Thus, it's great to read a book that discusses sexual orientation and gender identification in a positve manner outside of a Western context. However, this book is just some Aussie's observations on the topic. The book is practically like a "Gay Guide to Thailand." It doesn't get too in-depth and I would have much rather have read something from a gay Thai or a gay Thai living abroad. Still, this book is a good first start. It has awesome pictures. I would recommend it for Thais of all citizenships and sexualities, as well as many gay and lesbian readers.
