Thailand Makes History by Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage in Southeast Asia

Published

on


In a groundbreaking decision, Thailand has become the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. The historic parliamentary vote saw the Senate Upper House pass the changes to the marriage law with 130 votes in favor, four against, and 18 abstentions.

This new law grants same-sex couples equal rights to those of heterosexual couples, including adoption and inheritance rights.

Kevin Pehthai Thanomkhet, 30, expressed his relief and joy, stating, “My partner has one boy and I want to have legal rights to formally adopt him as my child and to have a say about his well-being. This bill will allow it.”

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, who has been a strong advocate for the LGBTQ community, announced that he would open his official residence for celebrations with activists and supporters.

Since the Netherlands became the first country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2001, more than 30 countries worldwide have followed suit. In Asia, however, only Taiwan and Nepal recognize marriage equality.

Published

on


It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.

This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
