Thailand Becomes Third Asian Country to Recognize Same-Sex Marriage

With the signature of King Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand, the LGBTQ+ travel destination becomes the third country in Asia to recognize same-sex marriage, and the first in its immediate area of Southeast Asia to do so. The new law was passed by its Senate in June and takes effect on Jan. 22 of next year.

Love certainly wins in any language!

“To all the love,” Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra posted to X Twitter. “Congratulations on everyone’s love.” The law changes the current civil code to include same-sex couples, granting full legal, medical, and financial rights, as well as full inheritance and adoption rights.

“The law is a monumental step towards equal rights in Thailand,” LGBTQ+ rights advocate Waaddao Chumaporn said, as reported by The Advocate. Chumaporn hopes to organize a mass wedding to take place on the law's start date.

While Thailand has a history of conservative religious and cultural views, it has also been a surprisingly welcoming destination for the LGBTQ+ community.

I don't know what this video is from but it's giving me some feels!

Thailand is the third Asian country to pass such legislation into law, after Taiwan (2019) and Nepal (2023).

The response online was overwhelmingly jubilant, to say the least.

It is interesting to see the changes happening in certain parts of the world when it comes to LGBTQ rights, especially in light of the battle we are having here in the States. Will other conservative countries follow suit? What will happen to our own rights here in the US with the next election? Let's be hopeful. There are still a number of countries where being gay is punishable by law and even death.

Will you be traveling to Thailand to celebrate?
