Thailand made a historic leap in LGBTQ+ rights as the country officially recognized marriage equality, allowing hundreds of couples to celebrate their unions. The law amends the civil code to grant same-sex couples full rights, including legal, medical, financial, inheritance, and adoption rights, marking a significant step towards gender diversity and equality. Spearheaded by former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, the law passed overwhelmingly in the Senate. Celebrations erupted nationwide, highlighting a new era of acceptance in Thai society, reflecting a broader acknowledgment of diversity.
"We've been waiting for this day for 18 years - the day everyone can recognize us openly, when we no longer need to be evasive or hide."
"This marriage equality law marks the beginning of Thai society's greater awareness of gender diversity, and our embrace of everyone regardless of sexual orientation, race, or religion."
