How can girls love girls be accepted in Cambodia?

Being Homosexual Women and Respecting Family’s Values in Cambodia!

How to come out safer to family for lesbian, bisexual women and transgendermen?

a. Most of LBT has a big trouble of coming out compare to Gaymen

It means LBT were born to be a woman in society.. not to be different from that. So social culture esp. family values have been used to treat LBT women to NOT SPEAK OUT, to respect OTHERs (and abuse themselves), to not use their 5 senses and let others orer them to do this and that.

b. For those who wish to come out and their parents will accept them the most are:

1. Study hard and work hard to be their independence, can live themselves and make decision by themselves.

2. Study about their family’s values as much as they can, esp. identify their family values’ weakness and strength then will find how ot talk to their parents and sibling and relatives in effective ways.

3. Identify who are the big influence surround their family, sometimes parents respect monks (religous) that LBT need to go to find monks’support, sometimes parents ‘friends will be the great person to talk too, sometimes commune leaders/police will be the best influence, and many times old people in village will be the best to talk to, that they will bring your feelings and words to tell your family.

c. Finally, LBT has to gathering regularly to share each other experience, support each other, advocate in family, village, commune, national and international level to prove to the country that Values of Family is made for better life.. but not to kills daughters! and we have many ways to do so.. one example is here to use technology and internet to make that change happened!

Example: One lesbian was arrested under kidnapping in human trafficking law in Takeo province in 2013. Police was understanding that law can’t stop girl to love girl, but police use cultural norm and family’ value to punish two girls to live together!

2014 November a lesbian was forced to marry to protect family’s face which lead the lesbian to be sad and forced to have sex with her male husband.

Lesbian and bisexual women stand up to protect their rights

In the world people always make ways to talk, listen, see and communicate each other.
Since technology was brought into the Kingdom, many women and girls include lesbian, bisexual women, and transgender man open their eyes, and ears very widely.
What have they used the technology to prove their simple and beautiful life????
a. They start to share their problem, solutions, challenges, and many secret story through social media.
b. They also many time use the technology to advocate for their real human rights and justice to support their living…
c. Many girls have stood up to advocate for others as well.
d. Due there are many cultural taboo, many girls have worked very hard to open the cultural taboo doors to accept them to be WHO THEY ARE.

Sad but powerful to stand up!
Inspiration and heroism lead young girls, women, LBT and other groups of young people to connect and fight for their value of living in the earth.

Being gay is not wrong

Many communities in the United States have embraced the lifestyles of gays and lesbians.

The Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride Festival & Parade has become the third largest in the US, attracting more than 75,000 participants over the two-day celebration in California.

Maine, Maryland and Washington legalised gay marriage in last week’s election, becoming the first US states to do so through popular vote rather than court or legislative action.

Gay marriage is now legal in nine states and the District of Columbia.

A rapid shift in public opinion is supporting their cause as more people grow used to the idea of gay marriage, but this is still a contested issue, as evangelical Christians and the Roman Catholic Church have vowed to fight against gay marriage.

A gay man or a lesbian woman is someone whose primary sexual preference is for a member of his or her own sex.

Much of the discrimination towards gay people is based on the myths people believe about them. For example: AIDS is a gay disease. AIDS is caused by a virus and viruses infect all kinds of people, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Another example: gays and lesbians are mentally ill.

In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association stated that homosexuality was not a mental disorder, and in 1990, the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder.

Cambodian law states that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are entitled to all of the same rights as other individuals. Gay marriage is prohibited. The human rights law is tolerant of male homosexual behaviour provided it does not affect the traditional family structure.

There is pressure in Cambodian society to marry and have children, which adds to the difficulties gay men face in trying to hide their sexuality.

In Phnom Penh, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community has been more open and visible. Since 2003, the LGBT Pride Parade is a yearly event that celebrates gay pride.

Popular gay bars like Blue Chilli and Rainbow have attracted the LGBT community to engage socially and publicly. Another avenue is online, like Facebook, where the initial communication starts. But those from rural areas are often discriminated against, threatened and have their human rights violated.

A Cambodian Center for Human Rights’ Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) project aims to empower LGBT Cambodians by providing information and coordination to allow groups and individuals to network effectively, provide training for documenting instances of abuse occurring, and support in advocating for the recognition of the fact that LGBT people have the same human rights as everyone else.

I had lunch with a young man who told me his story about coming out as a gay Cambodian. He was disowned by his family and was forced to live on the streets and survive on his own.

Drifting away from the people he loved was scarier than the fact he was gay. But he endured, and now is educating others through his experience, and believes that the best way to eliminate homophobia is to dispel ignorance on sexuality.

We should look for the good in everyone we meet and respect their journey, as well as their sexual preference.

Be your philosopher

January 14, 2015 by srunsrorn

People were born as creators. Everyone was born with body and brain while body is moved by brain. Some people said man is good in using left brain while woman is good in using right one and when gay people are good in using both left and right.

Actually all people in the world are smart as long as they have their own thoughts and try to follow theirs. When they feel their thoughts are wrong and understand others’ are right. It means they never trust who they are, they never think their brain is useful.

To trust your own selves, you have to use whatever you have thought called philosophy!
