Matt Skallerud1:13Thailand To Become First Southeast Asian Nation To Legalize Gay MarriageUnbranded - unbranded - NewsworthyThailand will soon become the first Southeast Asian nation to legalize same-sex marriage. The news comes after the Senate approved a marriage equality bill, marking a monumental step forward for LGBTQ+ rights. The bill, which passed with overwhelming support, now awaits the king's endorsement, a formality before it becomes law. Once enacted, it will grant LGBTQ+ couples the same legal rights as heterosexual couples. This includes inheritance, adoption and healthcare decision-making. This historic move positions Thailand as a leader in LGBTQ+ rights in a region where such recognition is rare. The bill comes on the heels of similar steps by Taiwan and Nepal. "We have come far in our journey towards social equality. I want to reaffirm my government’s commitment in pushing for the realization of the Equal Marriage Bill which today we can visibly see the light at the end of the tunnel," said Srettha Thavisin, the Prime Minister of Thailand, on X.
