Thailand's LGBTQ+ community draws tourists from China looking to be themselves
Xinyu Wen traveled to Thailand in June, planning a two-week vacation around Bangkok’s Pride parade. But the 28-year-old ended up staying a month and a half, soaking up the Thai capital’s thriving LBGTQ+ community.

Black people in America should try this too.
@Blursty I don't understand what you mean.
Travel the world and experience what it's like to be free and not living in a white supremacist state that hates your existence. Living in constant fear of being arbitrarily murdered by the militarised police or being sent to the prison labour camps on sentences that aren't applied to white people etc.
@Blursty There is quite a lot of Black American tourism to Liberia, maybe that's an example of what you are talking about.
Is there really? I don't know anything about that, good for them to experience some freedom.
Liberia was founded by Black Americans. It even uses the US Dollar
Yes, Liberia was colonized by freed slaves from America, and their descendants formed a power elite there until the civil wars.
It's a fascinating history. At one point America had to step in because Britain wanted to investigate reports that the ex-slaves were massacring some of the local African population.
Cool. There's a lot of place they could go to escape American persecution.
