Popular Lao-Australian film actor Ananda Everingham has joined a campaign to promote safe sex for homosexuals.

He was announced on Thursday as the second ambassador for Adam's Love, a website sponsored by the Aids Research Centre of the Thai Red Cross Society. The first ambassador is actor Chaiwat Thongsang.

The website plans to use the reputation and popularity of Ananda to kick-start their new campaign "We Deserve It" to raise awareness of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases and also encourage blood testing every three months.

I've noticed with this story and others relating to gays in BP that the "dislike" button gets hit more than the "like". Sad that so many people are still homophobic in Thailand. (I will be amazed if this post makes it into the comments section).

I get the feeling that it's coming more from farangs living in Thailand than local Thai people, who appear to be very tolerant of gays and transgender people.

If Ananda ran from PM he'd be elected hands down. I see his picture for more often than I do Yingluck's.
