For a long time, I’ve been sharing campaigns for children and families in Gaza, always asking you not to donate to our own campaign, but to direct your support to those who needed it more.
But today… Rafif’s family itself is in urgent need of your help.
Our entire life here depends on this campaign — it has become the lifeline keeping us alive in these unbearable conditions.
Any donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference in our lives.
Please… share and donate to Rafif’s campaign and our family.

I asked a Thai friend about this and they explained it to me like this:
When the man standing behind Inn kisses her and pushes her closer to him, Inn says, “P’Ta… oh my… harder… oh my.” (This is how my friend translated it for me.)
I asked why this was considered offensive to the LGBT community, especially the gay community. My friend explained that it was a type of joke implying that gay men are very sexually driven/hypersexual. Apparently, this kind of joke was quite common in Thailand during the 1990s–2000s.
However, it later received criticism from the LGBT community, and TV programs eventually stopped using this kind of joke.
The person who explained this to me is a Thai gay man.
I’m just passing along the information exactly as it was explained to me.
That’s why he spoke up and apologized. And if your fandom keeps dragging Daou into this, then you’re only making an already wrong situation even worse.
