Not really a Portland issue per se, but this article about gay monks in thailand being reprimanded for wearing tight clothes and having flamboyant eyebrows made me laugh…
From the BBC website:
A Buddhist preacher in Thailand has announced plans for new guidelines aimed at curbing the flamboyant behaviour of gay and transgender monks.
The “good manners” curriculum – the country’s first – is being introduced in the northern province of Chiang Rai.
The senior monk told the BBC he was particularly concerned by effeminate activities among novices such as the wearing of make-up and tight robes.
