“As far as I can recall, I was fond of women long before I knew there were verbal terms to categorize people by the nature of their sexuality. It was long before I knew humans could be called heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian.”
The activist also argued against a common Thai myth that regards homosexuality as an aspect of modern culture imported from the West:
“I can’t recall any Western influence that pushed me in the direction of other women. The only thing about sexuality I learned from Western films and novels as a teenager was about relationships between heroes and heroines, men and women. I would say that any influence from Western culture led me to think that I should be interested in men, not women.” (Anjaree - toward lesbian visibility, ).
