Thai Senate passes equal marriage bill

Jun 18, 2024 10:58 am

Only some royal faffing about left and Thailand will have equal marriage <3 <3 <3

And this legislation is passing by landslide numbers - 399 for, 5 against, 10 abstentions in the lower house, and now 130 for, 4 against, 18 abstentions in the upper house.

Thailand will be the first SEA country and the third in Asia (after Taiwan and Nepal) to equalise marriage.

That was supposed to be the confetti horn emojis but apparently they didn’t come through right

just speaking from my own experience - not everything that seems impossible in the moment or even for a long ass while always actually turns out that way.
also, I was asking my language exchange buddy in Thailand roughly a year ago how likely she thought it was for them to get marriage equality through and she wasn't seeing it for anytime soon. ┐(シ)┌

Agreed!!

oh right of course. i forgot that it did that. i may be a bit over-tired from the excitement today. 399-5 in the lower house, 130-4 in the upper. those margins are just beautiful. Scotland's equal marriage vote was 'only' 105-18. go Thailand : ) : ) : )
