The LGBTQ community in Thailand is overjoyed with the passage of the Same Sex marriage law act by the House of Representatives with 400 votes. The law grants basic rights to LGBTQ+ individuals aged 18 and over, allowing them to engage and marry. This is seen as a crucial step towards achieving equality in society. Civil society groups proposed adding a definition of “primary parent” to replace “father” and “mother” in the law. However, the proposal was rejected by the committee due to concerns that it was a new term and could affect the enforcement of other laws.
