Thailand's lower house of parliament on Wednesday, March 27, made history by passing a same-sex marriage bill, positioning the country to potentially become the first in Southeast Asia to recognise marriage equality for the LGBTQ community. The bill's resounding approval by 399 to 10 votes signals a significant step forward, although it still awaits Senate approval and royal endorsement. This historic stride brings Thailand closer to legalising same-sex unions, a move anticipated to be finalised by the end of 2024, solidifying its status as the sole Southeast Asian country to embrace such equality.
