May 17 is the International Day for The End of Homophobia, a proposal that came out fifteen years ago and did not seem to cause much of a stir. Today, with the development of Internet technology, immediacy of socialization, information contact has become wider, and people's psychological maturity has advanced, making the topic of homosexuality no longer as obscure as in the past.
Today, we dare to talk openly about this topic, and there is even a large group of gay people on the road to legalizing same-sex marriage. People born before the 80s rarely think and doubt their own sexuality, but with the open-ended introduction of Western culture and the increase in the degree of knowledge education, people are paying more and more attention to their own personality problems. Gender orientation is one of them.
Thailand is a typical constitutional monarchy, belonging to the capitalist camp, but still retaining the royal family, and the royal family is very rich. What is even more surprising is that Thailand is a country with a great degree of sexual tolerance, with as many as 18 orientations, and although same-sex marriage is not legalized, it is tolerant of same-sex couples.
Thai rotten dramas are out of the circle one after another, dare to shoot and dare to broadcast, and even have a special TV TV that creates male CP. For the domestic beauty circle, the scale portrayal of Thai rotten dramas is very satisfying to the pursuit of rotten women, which is impossible for similar domestic dramas to do.

In 2016, Thailand's gmm tv (Thailand's famous tv station for broadcasting American dramas) launched a classic drama series "One Year Student", which tells the story of a domineering and arrogant student who is attacked by a charming warm male student, from a dead opponent to a love for each other, the beauty of campus love has nothing to do with gender. The second part was launched the following year, although this drama was rated as 18 forbidden, but the whole drama was only three or two kissing scenes in total, and the number of hand-holdings was countless, which can be described as "Qingshui Drama".
However, why is this drama highly sought after and has become the "white moonlight" in the minds of many rotten women? I think it is because of the fresh emotional portrayal, high appearance, non-embarrassing acting skills, pleasing characters and plots, and the synthesis of many factors that make it the most special existence in the audience's heart.
The story begins with the sotus welcome system of the College of Engineering, this tradition of helping the old to the new, in this school, there are very strict requirements, the senior instructors use various activities to enhance the friendship between the new students, let them integrate into the collective, learn to help each other.
In this context, the protagonist Kongphop meets arthut, the senior who has previously given him encouragement, and the senior who is the head of the school is difficult and tortured by him, but the warm male student cares about the senior as always. The two came and went, and they developed a good feeling for each other under the communication between the new and old students.
The proud elder has not dared to face this feeling, the two fell into confusion and wandering, however, a feeling of breeding, can also make people brave and firm, the senior in Thailand's famous Rama VIII Bridge to express their hearts to the student, but also can not openly declare the love.
Love makes people timid, but also makes people brave, regardless of gender.
As for the sotus system in the play, it is similar to our freshman military training and induction training, after enrollment and entry, it must be adapted for a period of time, and the help of seniors is very important. This is the "hurdle" that almost everyone will encounter in their lifetime. This system is amplified in a play and becomes an important node to promote the development of the plot and catalyze the relationship between the characters.
Chai Egg is a well-known writer, screenwriter and producer in the Yumei circle, some time ago he had a new drama "One in a Hundred Miles" broadcast on Youku, using funny and plot to cover up the core of same-sex love. Some people say that the domestic market for American dramas is very large, but it is difficult to pass the review, and it cannot be broadcast when filmed, and it will soon be removed from the shelves.
However, this dividend is a virgin land to be developed for the film and television circle, and it hides great temptations. Judging from the delay in reforming "Town Soul" and "Chen QingLing", "socialist brotherhood" replaces the original male love, and has won success with the help of the original fan base, the actor fan base, the wonderful plot adaptation, and the good acting skills and costumes.
Also in 2016, Chai Egg's "Addiction" network was launched, but it was quickly removed. The plot is positioned in the group of high school students, and there is a plot of high-energy same-sex love, which is destined to be blatantly broadcast on the formal platform in this environment. However, this drama has caught fire to the two actors of Yuzhou, and their excellent acting skills and high appearance have allowed them to "kill" out of their original circle. So far, Weibo still has the super words of the two of them, but they have never been on the same stage again.
Playing a Tanmei drama requires great risks for actors, although as an actor dares to challenge and is afraid of being characterized, it seems to be an unspeakable experience in the current society to debut in a same-sex film or a fire.
But in fact, most of the films about the same sex like to be positioned among teenagers, or high school or college. A man who has just come of age, with a vision of love, is trapped in the same-sex orientation and tormented and repressed. At this time, love is beautiful and sour, and may encounter incomprehension or even obstruction from parents, and malicious insults from society.
Whether it is Taiwan's same-sex series "history" or most of the Thai dramas, although it is about same-sex love, it is more concerned with the self-growth of boys and girls in their youth. What those stories show is the embarrassment of facing one's own sexual orientation, the shyness of tempting each other, the pain of not getting a response from one's lover, and the heartache of silently paying attention to one person. In addition to this, they also face the frustration of chasing their dreams, the fear of facing the unknown future, and the vacillation of their loved ones when they do not understand.
Youth is used to chase dreams, is used to pursue sweet love, vigorously made, cried and missed, in order to become a better person. They just met the person they loved when they were young.
Problems or emotions encountered between the same sex can arise between any couple of lovers, regardless of gender. However, same-sex love is more difficult, and it is even more difficult to be understood and accepted by others. They are more timid and more cautious.

Wu En is a singer I like very much, and many of the ancient songs he sings are very good, including the theme song for "The Magic Ancestor". Last year he suddenly told his fans that he was sick, and that's when I learned he had a lover he had been in love with for many years. But because he was of the same sex, he was subjected to a lot of unfriendly things, including being verbally abused by private messages at the time. But he's a very strong and humorous guy, which is why I follow him.
We don't know how inclusive this society is, but so many years of hard work have always witnessed its increasingly inclusive status quo. The 39th Academy Awards, the winner of the Best Actor Award, Tai Bao, played a same-sex film "Uncle Uncle". The film is about two comrades who have been hiding in the closet for many years and meet each other in their later years, but two people with their own families can only hover between family, love and responsibility.
There was a time last year when college students forwarded a call for comments on the legalization of same-sex marriage in the circle of friends, and I was thinking that this wish was not easy to achieve at the moment, and then there was no follow-up. The "coming out" of the apprentice was actually unexpected to me, and I first met him as a thin, makeup-free, and dancing freshman boy.
Although I occasionally saw photos of his dance performance in the circle of friends, the boy in fine makeup, and the boy who ate and drank on the train, judged two people. For so many years, he has been fighting for the understanding of his family, waiting for his "true destiny" to appear, loves to travel, likes Hanfu, and actively participates in same-sex related activities. In addition to sexual orientation, he is a sunny boy who works seriously and lives seriously.
Under the cloak of homosexuality, it is actually a living soul. They are also ordinary people, with joys and sorrows, sadness and happiness, but just because of the gender problem of the people they love, they have suffered from the malice of the outside world.
I agree with a sentence said by the protagonist in the Hot Thai drama "True Love Murphy's Law" (also translated as "Living with Love"): Put aside gender, you will get a broader vision of life. Tear off the sexual label, you can see the wider world and get a different cognition.

What many people may not know is that the famous French thinker and philosopher Foucault was a homosexual, and when he devoted himself to the study of culture and social philosophy, he was also a scholar who paid attention to gender issues. All of his discourse on sex and gender, concentrated in the history of sexual experience, is rich in queer theory.
At the age of 58, when he was not a long-lived man, he often went to the gay community, and when he lectured at the University of California, he often went to same-sex places in San Francisco, especially in the BDSM community, which was rarely heard of at that time, and he died of illness in 1984.
It can be seen that same-sex love is not only subject to pressure from family society, but also to diseases (especially men). Homosexuality was originally included in the international list of diseases as a disease, and it was not removed until 1990. In 2005, Canadian sociologist Louis George Dinn advocated that May 17 be designated as the International Day against Homophobia to call attention to this group against moral violence and injustice resulting from sexual discrimination.
Every love will bear different pressures, whether it is in an intimate relationship or under pressure from the outside of society. And this group has experienced so many years of ups and downs on the road to anti-discrimination, for tolerance and fairness, where should it go?
The first time I learned about same-sex orientation was in my sophomore year of high school. At that time, I had just transferred to a new class, and except for a few classmates I had known, most of them were strangers. At that time, a girl with short hair and a dislike of bra came into my field of vision. We were front and back tables, and when we sat in front of her, she liked to poke me with a pen, and when she sat behind her, she often turned her head to "flirt" with me, and we often chatted in the hallway during recess.
A classmate once reminded me not to get too close to her, at first I did not know the reason, after getting acquainted with her, I found that she was a very cheerful and kind and enthusiastic person. Even if the classmates know her sexual orientation, they will not be estranged from her, and we have a circle of people who play very well, even under the high-pressure preparation, she will be willing to help her classmates and friends around her.
At that time, I liked Xie Anqi's songs very much, so I asked her to help me download them (at that time, I didn't know much about computers, her home was opposite the school, and her family was well-off). She told me that women don't listen to "Zhong Wuyan" and men don't listen to "Seven Friends." I asked why, and she smiled and didn't say anything. It wasn't until after college that I slowly understood what she was saying.
Gender aside, in the face of love, everyone may get true love, everyone may lose what they love, everyone may become a spare tire, everyone may meet scum, and everyone may encounter sincerity.
Everyone is born, it is fixed male and female, physiological gender, most of the time represents the psychological gender, but there are always people "misplaced". Gender awareness is important for everyone, in their emotional lives. But it's not that important either, and when we shout "love is love," we're doomed to work on that slogan.
I agree with the statement (which I learned from one of our cultural studies teachers) that everyone is born, sexual orientation is like a scale, and until gender cognition is clear, we should all be in the middle, that is, "bisexual". In the process of our growth, gender cognition gradually becomes clear, some people are biased to the "opposite sex" side, some are biased to the "same sex" side, and some people stay in the middle position.
In fact, we are all flesh and blood people, this society has a greater degree of tolerance is a good thing, the same-sex group suffers greater malice, but also deserves more goodwill attention and tolerance.
Putting aside the bias of sexuality, you will look at it more broadly. In any case, may you be in love and get what you want.

Text/Angelica Photo/Some stills Written in the back: The original intention of writing articles on related topics was that once I watched a Thai rotten drama, my sister saw the picture of two boys intimately (holding hands), and the word "disgusting" she blurted out made me feel uncomfortable, I think how many ordinary people in this world do not agree with this group, and even are full of deep malice towards them. This article only represents a personal point of view, I am not afraid of homogeneity, nor do I call for all human convergence, after all, this road is very difficult in today's society. If you are the same, may you have strong armor to protect you for the rest of your life. The world is wonderful because of you.
