Cambodia is one of the world’s secret gay locations. Though you wouldn’t necessarily picture pink parades and go-go dancers when you think of Cambodia, this year’s celebration of the International Day Against Homophobia in Phnom Penh shows that things are hotting up for gay Cambodians.

For a whole week, Phnom Penh celebrates LGBT Pride, culminating on IDAHO on 17th. There will be film screenings, such as the showing of hit flick Milk on 11th, as well as many others specific to South East Asia throughout the week; social nights at Pontoon including drag shows, club nights and chillout sessions; and finally, on 17th at the Salt Lounge, the Mr Gay Cambodia contest.
