LGBT rights in Laos

Hi folks, NatNomad here. An ex-Buddhist monk from Laos with a big dream of seeing the world. Throughout my time for over 10 years being a monk I kept asking myself one question "What life is like out there beyond the monastery?" and because of this question alone made me take a big step in 2014 when I finally said goodbye to my wonderful monastic life.
And now I'm doing what I've always wanted to do. Though I am not quite sure if I can say that I'm living my dream but you know what I'm loving my new adventure.
Please make sure to stick with me so we can explore new exotic places together.
Let the adventure begins!
Thanks so much for your support.

My fondest memories of Luang Prabang are evenings at a gay friendly bar. My partner and I are not LGBTIQ but we were travelling with a gay couple. I hope the acceptance grows in your country and family.

[@natnomad]

That is wonderful. I'm glad you left Luang Prabang with such a wonderful memory.

Thank you for your presentation; i visited Laos in 2019 and saw open and tolerant environment in the places I visited … Laos 🇱🇦 was very gay friendly…

Live your life bro!! Life is too f.. short to let society or people around you dictate how you should live it. Hugs !!!

[@geopaulet923]

Live your life, love who you want to love, best feeling to have.

[@natnomad]

Yup, that's how life should be.

[@havechopstickswilltravel2990]

Living honestly is the only way to live. It could be more difficult if your family does not accept it, but in the end, we have 1 life to live. Live it honestly. At times we have to cut ties with those who do not love us for who we truly are.

[@natnomad]

Well said, Tina🙏😊

Did you go to school in London that why you speak good English?

Thank you. I only studied English in Luang Prabang

[@nomorenews]

How many gays in Laos? Which is the gayest city in Laos?

[@natnomad]

The gay scene is more visibly in Vientiane capital. Laos is not quite an exciting place for LGBT. It is too quiet

[@littletravelmonkey6727]

So are you gay？😊

[@natnomad]

Yes

[@Walaoehpaul]

[@Frame_Mania]
