게이 역시 좋은 승례가 될수가 있다. 'Gay people can make good monks too,” the Buddhist monk said.

[조니 타이 ] - 속세를 버리고 불교 승례가 된 어느 게이 수도승의 이야기... 

그는 게이, 트랜스잰더 성소수자 역시 좋은 승례가 될 수가 있다고 이야기 합니다. 요즘 태국에서는 이런 성소수자들이 속세를 버리고 불교 승례가 사례가 많이 보고되고 있습니다. 

28년을 난 이렇게 살았다고 하는 그 승례를 태국에 유명한 토크쇼 우디 토크쇼가 찾아갔습니다.

그리고 그에게' 잘생긴 다른 승례를 본적이 있느냐?  느낌이 어떠냐고 질문하는 우디쇼 진행자..! 

( 이 모든걸 우리 젭하고 상의해서 한글로 포스팅 하겠습니다. 기다리세요!)

THAILAND — A Thai Buddhist monk who is gay and a former cross-dresser has gone on public television to say there is nothing wrong with gay people becoming Buddhist monks, causing much controversy in Thailand where Buddhism is the primary religion and has special status, reports GayAsiaNews.com.

“I am who I am, and I’m not going to pretend just to fit in,” Venerable Tanaisawan George Chandha-dhammo,28, told Woody Talk, the popular MCOT talk show. “Gay people can make good monks too,” the Buddhist monk said.

His interview had led Thai censors to stop that segment of the popular television talk show from broadcasting that interview last month. However it was finally allowed to air on television recently, announced bangkok.coconuts.co.

The popular MCOT talk show host had revealed on Facebook that they had to postpone its “Gay Monk” interview segment because censors had objected:

“Apologies to our audience. Woody Talk has to postpone the broadcast of the ‘Gay Monk’ interview because the Censorship Committee is evaluating its appropriateness. The tape contains some hot issues!” the post had said.

With 44,000 views, the episode’s teaser provided a few quotes from the young monk, who discusses being a gay monk.

The crux of the interview was whether it is appropriate for a man who is openly gay and has strong faith in Buddhism can choose to become a monk

Venerable George used to be a medical student and dressed like a woman publicly.

Now he practices Buddhism at Vivegvanaram Monastery in Hat Yai, Songkhla province, southern Thailand.

Known for his sharp religious homilies Venerable George is loved and revered by locals in the area.

Religion is a sensitive issue that the Thai media rarely touches and Venerable George’s public outing of his sexual orientation is probably a first for public television.

More than 95 percent of Thailand’s 67 million people are Buddhists and although Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, it has a strong Southeast Asian tradition of Buddhist kingship that ties the legitimacy of the state to its protection and support for Buddhism.

Buddhist institutions and clergy are guaranteed special benefits by the government.
