Per The Guardian: "The bill passed its final reading on Tuesday with the approval of 130 of the 152 members of the Senate in attendance, with four voting against it and 18 abstaining."

 Elisheva:

And it was 399 for in the lower house, with only 5 against and 10 abstentions. I know we're outside looking but these landslide numbers feel so important.

These numbers are significant! Congrats to Thailand!  Maybe a neighboring country next? Vietnam? I was also thinking the Philippines but I have the impression it's a very religious culture (Catholic?) which might be more challenging. How about Japan?

 FortPeatForever:

I will have to go with Kao from Dark Blue Kiss-

Oh yes, the teddy bear!! That was sooo sweet!

This survey was published in November 2023 by Pew Research, which is very highly regarded

Interesting survey. I wasn't too far off, for a guess. I'm not surprised to see Malaysia & Indonesia at the other end of the spectrum. Their human rights record in general is very poor. 

I have a Vietnamese friend living in SK and the stories he shares of his childhood  in Vietnam, especially school years, is very strict and as you mention, authoritarian. 

It will be interesting to see how the new Thai marriage law influences or affects other Asian countries in the coming years. 

  Day 18 - Most romantic main lead   I would have to say Karan from Cherry Magic (Th).  He just did so many small things for Achi, just because... and he didn't even let Achi know about them. Like, closing the blinds so the sun is not in Achi's eyes, making the coffee for the office. It was only when Karan was out of the office that Achi noticed who had been behind these little things. <3

Love Sea is trending on Twitter and so I went scrolling through (for gifs hehe) and I saw posts that claim Boss said he will outdo FortPeat in passion (NC scenes) in his and Noeul's upcoming series. If we are only in episode 2 of love Sea and we are already seeing such NC scenes we can imagine what is to come, so how the hell is Boss planning to outdo them. At that point they are going to have to post these episodes on only fans lol.

I'm sorry- WHAT? Ok I'm loving the idea, but how the heck r BossNoeul gonna beat FortPeat in this? Man, I gotta see this lmao

 American Fan:

Does this qualify for a group watch?! I think it might!

Yesss, I'm so in! Can't wait XD

Omg I love that! (I mean the post right below, cuz for some reason I can only type on top of it lmao)

It's like a ticket to a show lol, so cute <3

This'll be fun!

 American Fan:

Awesome!

Congratulations to Thailand on the Marriage Equality Bill being passed in the Upper house with a significant  majority of more than 2/3 of the house voting in favour of equality for same sex couples in civil rights . Other than the right for same sex couples to marry this monumental passing of this piece of legislation also gives same sex couples rights related inheritance, adoption, healthcare decision making etc. As the Bill awaits royal assent from the King after which it will come into effect 120 days after it is published in the royal gazette, I hope other Asian countries will follow suit. It is heartwarming to see the celebratory atmosphere taking place in Thailand and all over the world since the news broke out; the BL actors have been showing their support in numerous posts across the different social media platforms. Congratulations to Thailand again. 

Updates:

A worshipping ceremony will be held July 8, 2024 for the series.

I believe there will be some content released with them getting married.
