Thailand has become the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, following the royal endorsement of a landmark bill by King Maha Vajiralongkorn. The legislation, approved by the Senate in June, will take effect on January 22, 2025, and was published in the Royal Gazette on Tuesday.
This historic move follows years of advocacy by LGBTQ+ activists and marks a significant step towards equality in the region. The new law replaces gender-specific terms like “husband” and “wife” with gender-neutral language and grants same-sex couples full legal, financial, and medical rights, including adoption and inheritance.
Former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, who supported the bill, celebrated the development as a milestone for equity and gender diversity in Thai society. LGBTQ+ activists, including Ann Chumaporn, co-founder of the Bangkok Pride movement, hailed the law as a victory for human dignity, with plans to organize a mass wedding for over 1,000 couples on the day it takes effect.
Thailand joins Taiwan and Nepal as the only places in Asia where same-sex marriage is legal. While the country has a reputation for LGBTQ+ tolerance, activists note that challenges remain in achieving full societal acceptance.
