Thailand's landmark marriage equality law takes effect

ai generated text

Thailand has become the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, with a new marriage law set to take effect on Thursday. This landmark legislation marks a significant milestone for the LGBTQ+ community, following the Buddhist beliefs of 90% of Thais that do not prohibit LGBT lifestyles. Hundreds of same-sex couples are expected to get married as a result of this new law.

    1. Recently a country's leader said that there were only two genders, but I think we are more open-minded than that.
    2. From now on, there will no longer be a 'man' and a 'woman', but 'individual' and 'individual' who are equal 'spouses'. I congratulate you wholeheartedly on your love.

    1. This demonstrates that Thailand is ready to embrace diversity and accept love in all its forms. Today shows that our country is open and accepting.
    2. Today, the rainbow flag is proudly flying over Thailand.
    3. Whether male, female or non-binary, people should have the right to identify as they wish.
    4. This marriage equality law marks the beginning of Thai society's greater awareness of gender diversity, and our embrace of everyone regardless of sexual orientation, race, or religion- our affirmation that everyone is entitled to equal rights and dignity.

    1. When the marriage equality bill was discussed in public, some would say: 'They [same-sex couples] just want to love each other, leave them be,'
    2. Some people are against allowing the LGBTQ community the option to amend gender markers due to entrenched fears of (gender) identity falsification.
