Thailand approves same-sex marriage
The Philippine Star
|June 19, 2024
Thailand yesterday became the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, in a historic parliamentary vote hailed as a "victory" by campaigners.
-
The senate upper house gave final approval by 130 votes to four, with 18 abstentions - to changes to the marriage law allowing same-sex couples to tie the knot.
The new legislation will now go to King Maha Vajiralongkorn for royal assent and come into force 120 days after publication in the official Royal Gazette.
