Thailand has officially enacted its equal marriage law, gaining prominence as the first Southeast Asian nation, and third in Asia, to legalize same-sex and transgender marriages. Celebrations were organized across the country, with activists aiming for a significant number of wedding registrations on the first day, representing changes to the inclusive wording in the law. The former Prime Minister hailed the legislation as a testament to collective efforts for LGBTQ+ rights, and the day is a historic moment for marriage equality in Thailand.
"Equal marriage has truly become possible with the power of all," said former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, who was head of government when the legislation was passed in June last year.
"One-four-four-eight symbolizes the fight for marriage rights for all genders. It represents the dream and hope of building an inclusive society that accepts and celebrates love in all its forms," LGBTQ+ group Bangkok Pride said.
