Legisladores tailandeses aprobaron proyecto de ley de matrimonio igualitario
Lawmakers in Thailand voted on Tuesday to approve a marriage equality 🍎 bill, a move that puts the country on a clear path to becoming the first in Southeast Asia to legalize 🍎 same-sex marriage.
Thailand's Senate passed the bill on Tuesday afternoon, nearly three months after it was approved by the 🍎 House of Representatives. The legislation would go into effect after it is reviewed by a Senate committee and the Constitutional 🍎 Court and receives royal assent from the king, a formality that is widely expected to be granted.
Thailand's status as 🍎 a relative haven for gay couples in Asia
The bill's passage underscores Thailand's status as a relative haven for gay 🍎 couples in Asia. Only Taiwan and Nepal have legalized same-sex marriage. While India came close last year, the Supreme Court 🍎 deferred the decision to Parliament.
In some Asian countries, gay sex is a criminal offense. Indonesia, where gay marriage 🍎 is illegal, made extramarital sex illegal in 2024. In 2024, Brunei made gay sex punishable with death by stoning. It 🍎 later said it would not carry out executions after widespread international protest.
Thailand's bill calls marriage a partnership between 🍎 two people age 18 and above, without specifying their gender. It also gives L.G.B.T.Q. couples equal rights to adopt children, 🍎 claim tax allowances, inherit property and give consent for medical treatment when their partners are incapacitated.
The bill has 🍎 been contentious since its first version was introduced over 20 years ago. While Thailand is one of the most open 🍎 places in the world for L.G.B.T.Q. people, it is socially conservative in other ways.
