Wonderful news. ❤️
King Maha Vajiralongkorn gave royal assent to the new law, passed by parliament in June, which will take effect in 120 days – meaning the first gay weddings are expected to take place in January.
This is good news
Amazing news. I never would have thought to be reading this as an adult, having growing up with two moms whose relationship couldn’t be legally recognized for years.
Made my evening.
Can i be honest
Why the hell am i not cherishing
King Maha you have my utmost respect.
I wonder how John Oliver’s going to react after mildly insulting the guy on TV.
WOOOO!!
The cocks can now bang eachother legally in Bangkok!!
There is definitely some practical reasons for this legal change.
A good chunk of Thailand’s economy is dependant upon tourism, especially Western tourists. They had to make the change to make Thailand much more friendly to foreigners from the West, otherwise those tourist dollars will go elsewhere that will accept same sex marriages.
Great job by the croptop king.
Well, as terrible as he is as a monarch, at least they passed this law. At least some good came out of this.
I mean, definitely a step in the right direction, still plenty to do.
