About Myanmar

A culturally diverse Southeast Asian country with long Buddhist traditions and a modern history marked by military rule and conflict.

Queer History

Section 377, introduced under British colonial rule in 1861, remains available to criminalize consensual same-sex intimacy in Myanmar. The &PROUD film festival began in Yangon in 2014 and created rare public queer space, but criminalization, conflict and repression continue to constrain organizing and safe nightlife.

LGBTQ+ Culture

LGBTQ+ communities exist but public nightlife and organising are constrained by political instability and a restrictive legal environment.
