Bangkok Pride parade - June 1

[Gaybutton]

The activities will be from May 31-June 4. The main event, of course, is the parade. That is scheduled for June 1 and will go from the National Stadium to the Ratchaprasong intersection. That's the Lumpini area near Central World. I have not spotted information yet about what time the parade starts. If you come across that information, please post.

And if you go to the parade I hope you will take photos and post them.

Bangkok Pride 2024 to be packed with activities to celebrate love

by THE NATION

April 30, 2024

Bangkok Pride, an annual event for gender diversity groups, this year will feature grand parades, concerts and academic forums to promote the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, the organiser Naruemit Pride Ltd announced on Facebook on Monday.

Bangkok Pride 2024 is scheduled to take place for five days from May 31 to June 4 across several venues in the capital. The theme of this year is “Celebration of Love” to mark Thailand’s recognition of same-sex marriage with the passing of the equal-marriage bill, the company said.

The main event will be the Bangkok Pride Parade on June 1, to be participated in by members of LGBTQIA+ groups, who will express the concept of love in five topics: Love Wins, Love for Identity, Love for Dignity, Love for Peace and Earth, and Love for Freedom.

Participants will march from the National Stadium to Ratchaprasong Intersection on Rama I Road in Bangkok’s Pathum Wan district. The general public can join for free with no registration required.

From May 31 to June 2 at Lido Connect, people can take part in Bangkok Pride Forum, a series of seminars on topics related to same-sex marriage, human rights and education.

A sister forum will also be held at SCBX Next Tech, Siam Paragon shopping mall, from May 31 to June 4 covering such topics as economic, health-care, technological and environmental impacts of the equal marriage bill.

Last, the Drag Bangkok concert, from May 31 to June 3, will mark the biggest gathering of drag artists of the year across various nationalities, cultures and generations. The stage will be packed with showgirls and dancers who will create the greatest and most spectacular entertainment experience at Parc Paragon, Siam Paragon.

They'd better hope for cooler weather by then - otherwise the Drag Queens will have that lipstick they slap all over their faces dripping down to their ankles.

They're not going very far. That route must be comfortably under a mile, if they go directly. Ideal for those who don't like walking.

Why not? If Rudy Giuliani can do it, so can they . . .

Even so, in this kind of heat even less than a mile can be a very long way.

And on the subject of drag, here's some of their promotional material .
There's not much diversity in this advert, but perhaps the rest of the campaign might correct that.

Anyone besides me remember Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window"? The one in yellow at the center looks to me just like "Miss Lonelyheart".





As long as I'm mentioning Alfred Hitchcock, here's his cameo in "Rear Window"
