Xinyu Wen traveled to Thailand in June, planning a two-week vacation around Bangkok’s Pride parade. But the 28-year-old ended up staying a month and a half, soaking up the Thai capital’s thriving LBGTQ+ community.

    Is there really? I don’t know anything about that, good for them to experience some freedom.

        Yes, Liberia was colonized by freed slaves from America, and their descendants formed a power elite there until the civil wars.

        It’s a fascinating history. At one point America had to step in because Britain wanted to investigate reports that the ex-slaves were massacring some of the local African population.

        Cool. There’s a lot of place they could go to escape American persecution.
