International Gay Guide

Gay-guide-Asia-and-Cambodia was established in 2014 in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Original purpose of the site was to help LGBTQ population of Cambodia and Asia in their quest to gain equal rights and get informed about gay health issues facing gay population.

The main purpose have gradually evolved. International Gay Guide cover much wider audience and their interests. LGBTQ population has interests in fashion, entertainment, gay rights world wide, gay travel. Our domain name stayed the same but site is now called International Gay Guide.

People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) are members of every community. They are diverse, come from all walks of life, and include people of all races and ethnicities. All ages and all socioeconomic statuses. The perspectives and needs of LGBTQ people should be routinely considered in public health efforts. Goal must be to improve the overall health of every gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender person and eliminate health disparities.

In addition to considering the needs of LGBT people in programs designed to improve the health of entire communities, there is also a need for culturally competent medical care and prevention services that are specific to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population. Social inequality is often associated with poorer health status. Sexual orientation has been associated with multiple health threats. Members of the LGBT community are at increased risk for a number of health threats when compared to their heterosexual peers.

Differences in sexual behavior account for some of these disparities. Others are associated with social and structural inequities, such as the stigma and discrimination. Lesbian, gay and bisexual population experience much higher levels of discrimination. We particularly hope to reach gay, lesbian and bisexual youth and provide information. That need is present not only in Asia but world wide.

These pages provide information and resources on some of the health issues and inequities affecting LGBT communities. Links to other information sources and resources are also provided. Some of this information is designed for members of the general public. International Gay Guide has no expertise in health. We provide links to professional sites operated by government or by reputable institutions.

LGBT artists have historically existed outside the mainstream art world. This position has given them a unique perspective to comment on a range of themes and issues, pertaining to gender, identity and society in their art.

In spite of this historical bias there are many names who have broken through and enjoyed A-List status in contemporary art circles. But it has not been easy for LGBTQ artists.

News covering LGBT arts and artists – performers – in music world, film, literature, theater and literature. Entertainment news and current affairs. Gay, lesbian and bisexual performers are much more open about their sexuality than ever. This particularly applies to coming gay, lesbian and bisexual youth.

As the global visibility of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-gender (LGBT) community increases, the discussion of the market’s economic impact continues to gain traction. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the travel industry. Lesbian and gay people tend to travel more than their heterosexual counterparts. Travel industry is aware of importance of gay and lesbian persons for its development and survival. We can see that in increased marketing and advertising targeting gay, lesbian and bisexual persons. Lesbian and gay youth are particularly looking for travel opportunities to regions where they can feel free about their sexuality.
