Thai Lawmakers Approve Same-Sex Marriage Bill

In a historic move, Thai lawmakers passed a marriage equality bill yesterday, setting the stage for Thailand to become the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage.


The bill now awaits review by a Senate committee and the Constitutional Court before receiving royal assent from the king, a formality that is anticipated to be granted.
