Colourful papers and crayons scatter the floor as children scribble away on cardboard. Scissors meticulously cut paper into letters, and slowly messages are formed on the waiting cardboard, advocating for society to embrace diversity, promote marriage equality and tear down harmful gender binary.
On the first Saturday of this month, a group of children and youths gathered at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre to join Youth Pride -- an open and safe space where they connected and exchanged ideas about LGBTI rights. The event has been held for two consecutive years in conjunction with Bangkok Pride and was co-organised by Tomorrow's Leader, Young Pride, Isaan Gender Diversity Network, Save the Children Thailand and a network of LGBTI youth among others.
