Myanmar this year held a number of small anonymous events across the country, organized by independent activists and community groups.
The annual “&Proud” photo competition and exhibition was held once again to mark IDAHOT 2016. Running from May 7 until 15, the exhibition featured work from LGBT amateur photographers, as well as professional work of LGBT subjects from the ASEAN region. The show was designed to draw attention to the LGBT community, and to use creative methods to challenge damaging and negative perceptions.
