LGBT community uses Nat Festival to let their hair down
- 8 years ago
Nat worship is an ancient tradition in Burma and has long been associated with the gay and transgender community, due to its elaborate feminine costumes.
The country's largest spirit festival, Taung Pyome, held annually just outside Burma's second city Mandalay, has become a rare opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people to dress and act freely.
