Naypyitaw: The ethnic and LGBTQ groups of Myanmar on Saturday came out on the streets to protest against the military junta for overthrowing the democratically elected government.
According to a report by Al Jazeera, members of the LGBTQ community are among the most visible participants in the continuing protests against the coup leaders, expressing their opposition in creative ways, using costumes.
"There are some people who don't like NLD (National League for Democracy) but we're not talking about the NLD," said Salai Mon Boi, a youth leader from the Chin minority.
He further informed that the Saturday's protest, which fell on Chin National Day, was focused on four demands: getting rid of the Constitution, ending dictatorship, a federal system and the release of all leaders, Al Jazeera said.
