Image via WikipediaIt has been reported from Bangkok that a number of new monks in Thailand have been 'sullying' the reputation of the more conservative Buddhist faith's hierarchy by wearing lipstick,overly tightening their robes, and walking with an exaggerated swing of the hips and carrying handbags. Concern over the behaviour of these gay novices has apparently moved religious authorities to propose training monks in matters of decorum. A leading Buddhist preacher explained that homosexuality in itself is not banned among monks, 'otherwise more than half of them would be defrocked".
