Lawmakers in Thailand just passed historic legislation recognizing same-sex marriage
Paving the way for it to become the first country in Southeast Asia to do so, lawmakers in Thailand just passed historic marriage equality legislation. Technically an amendment, around 400 members of the country’s 500-member house voted to pass it.
Now, the legislation heads to the Senate and Prime Minister for approval. Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has made it a central issue, so the legislation is expected to pass.
When the changes take effect, the country will become the third in Asia to recognize same-sex marriage registrations for those 18 and older, along with rights to inheritance, tax allowances, child adoption, and more.
