The month of June is dedicated to celebrating and recognising the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer+ (LGBTQ+) community worldwide

This historical month is celebrated by many countries that accept the LGBTQ+ community, including the United States (USA), Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Taiwan, and Thailand.However, Pride Month is still not recognised or celebrated in Malaysia, with many Malaysians remaining vocally opposed to the idea due to cultural taboos.One Malaysian man recently shared his thoughts on the Pride Month celebration that he observed while he was in Bangkok, Thailand."In Bangkok, there are many malls celebrating Pride Month, but these places have drag queens and transwomen performing and dancing in sexy clothes in front of the public," he wrote on Twitter."It's extremely inappropriate for kids to watch, maybe that's their 'pride'," he added.He went on to say that locals did not bother stopping by to watch the drag shows, and implied that the celebration was a public nuisance because it is held in open spaces.The man also attached a photo of a mural promoting the Pride Month celebration held at MBK Centre, a shopping mall in Bangkok.
