I was in the US for a visit when this whole Karr story broke. Leopard is correct...there was no media mention of gay life in Thailand, as such. They originally talked extensively about how expat teachers can operate "under the radar" around the world and how paedophiles try to stay one step ahead of the law. They also talked a bit about the Thai sex trade. But, with each passing day, as this story got more and more bizarre, any thoughts of media gay-bashing went away....there were too many other strange angles in this story to report.
