Through a combination of conservative social norms, religious beliefs, and repressive antihomosexual colonial laws, members of the LGBTQ community are subjected to persecution and discrimnation. Section 377 of Myanmar’s Penal Code was created in 1861 criminalizes same-sex relationships to harsh prison sentences that range from 10 years to life in prison. The civil liberities of the LGBTQ community remained largely unchanged under the military rule in Myanmar from the 60s to early 2000s under military rule. The political reforms starting from early 2011, helped with improvements in media and civil freedoms which allowed the LGBTQ community more visibility within the general public. This has to a certain extent changed some public perception and tolerance towards the LGBTQ. Despite the slight change in public perceptions anti LGBTQ laws have not been revoked till today. Khun Minn Ohn - the director of Kings and Queens - started off as an intern at Tagu Films in 2012. For his final assignment, Khun Min Ohn chose to document the lives of the LGBTQ community through his connections within Kings and Queens. He wanted to explore the subject of the queer community as it was relatively unknown to the general public during that time. With the support of the members at Tagu Films, Khun Minn Ohn led the effort towards making this short documentary.
