This photo was taken on June 25, 1997 at the slickly produced Simon Cabaret show in Phuket, Thailand, an all-male revue such as can be
found in bars throughout the country. In this number, the dancers recreate a traditional Thai dance. Transvestites (กะเทย) and transgendered people are much more accepted in Thailand than in Western countries, perhaps because the Buddhist religion practiced in the region does not have texts or doctrines that are judgmental of different lifestyles. Whatever the reason, they can be often be seen on the streets and in everyday jobs where they are employed without persecution, relatively speaking. |
