Can anyone tell me why there was no parade in Bangkok during the GAY PRIDE festival this year ?

Some of the talk I have heard in Bangkok is that most of the responsibility for scheduling these Gay pride affairs has evolved by design from lots of farang expat influence to putting Thais in charge, some of whom apparently decided that a parade of semi-naked Thai katoeys and leatherettes was not needed or desirable to advance the cause.

I had heard that the Thais on the committee couldn't organize a fuck in a brothel and that's why there is no parade this year, so obviously one can't always believe what one hears!

I heard the straight boy prostitutes whom they usually got to don these events refused to march in any "gay Pride" parade this year until they they got a salary hike.

I also heard the story that the Thais who are running the organization and event now just could not get their act together to arrange for the permits and parade details.
