Kyaw Zin Win wrote that he bore the indignity patiently, adding that he wished it would end soon. On June 23rd, minutes after the Facebook post, it ended. Kyaw Zin Win took his own life.
The University authorities made the usual noises about tragedy and regret, adding it was assisting the deceased's family and promised an investigation.
One might assume the religious authorities would show sympathy. Not at all. A week later Koebweya Sayadaw Ashinasayar, a Buddhist leader, used his sermon to tell his followers, "I hate the gays a lot . . . beat them to death." He labelled Kyaw Zin Win a "sissy", telling the laughing crowd to "drop dead" if they pity him. He also encouraged violence against LGBT citizens.
Perhaps it is not surprising that this monk has been in trouble with his superiors before - for getting too close to female followers."Why should you feel bad for him? When they sent him to the morgue, they asked for two minutes of silence for their martyr. What kind of martyr is he? He’s gay, he’s a sissy, he killed himself, what martyr?"
