Hundreds of LGBT+ couples in Thailand legalise their weddings
Couples from the LGBTQ+ community show their marriage certificates after the Marriage Equality Act took effect in Bangkok, Thailand, January 23, 2025
HUNDREDS of LGBT+ couples in Thailand were expected to make their wedded status legal today.
It was the day a law took effect granting them the same rights as heterosexual couples.
The enactment of the Marriage Equality Act makes Thailand the first country in south-east Asia and the second in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage, after Nepal. The breakaway Chinese province of Taiwan has also done so.
