Crystal was born as a boy. Having developed feminine behaviors since he was little, he wanted to practically be a woman, and chose to be a transvestite. Crystal's parents are having a hard time accepting the fact, particularly her father, but she told him that he didn't have to worry about her life because she would do it properly. She lives in Bangkok, Thailand, and is a well-respected and committed manager for a well-known French cosmetics company. She has a very clean and healthy life. She doesn't smoke or drink, and is a vegetarian.
One evening in June in 2007, She went out to a nightclub in a hotel. The door staff checked her ID card. Once the staff found out that she was a transvestite, she was not allowed entry. She was shocked and could not agree with the policy. She made a phone call to Bangkok Rainbow Organization, a recognized non-profit organization in Thailand specilized in gay issues. The organization publicized the story through mass media. Because the hotel brand was Novotel, which has close to 400 hotels and resorts in 60 countries, The news spread across the world. Eventually, the hotel arranged a press conference and made an apology to her.
The story didn't end here, and had a much larger concequence than anyone could have imagined. On September 19, 2006, a military coup took place in Thailand. An interim government was installed, and Constitution Drafting Assembly was selected to change the constitution within the year. Crystal was invited into the Assembly as a representative of gays and transgendered people. The Assembly wrote equal rights for gays and transgendered people into its constitution. On August 19, 2007, Thailand voted in favor of the new constitution, ensuring that Thailand would have transgender and gay rights for the first time in its history.
What I felt watching the video clip is that people need to be considerate for others. I would never treat gay people like the club staff, because I know how I would feel if I was discriminated like that. Golden Rule: Treat others the way you would want to be treated.
P.S.
I wondered which to refer to Crystal as, he or she, but I figured she would be pleased if I referred to her as she.
Also, does anyone know how christanity is against homosexuality? I don't know that because I've never been involved deeply with christanity. If anyone knows and tell me, I'd appreciate it.
