Download Gaysia: Adventures in the Queer East AudioBook Free
Benjamin Law considers himself pretty lucky to live in Australia: he can hold his boyfriend's submit public and lobby his politicians to identify same-sex marriage. But as the child of immigrants, he's also interested about how precisely different life may have been had he grown up in Asia. So he sets off to meet his fellow Gaysians. Law needs his investigative tasks seriously, heading nude where required in Balinese gender resorts, resting backstage all night with Thai ladyboy beauty contestants, and trying Indian pilates classes made to remedy his homosexuality. The heroes he matches - from Tokyo's star drag queens to HIV-positive Burmese gender personnel and Malaysian ex-gay Religious fundamentalists to Chinese language gays and lesbians who marry one another to please their parents - all coach him something new about being queer in Asia. Simultaneously enjoyable and moving, Gaysia is a untamed ride and a fascinating quest by a respected Australian writer.
