Thailand has made history by becoming the first country in Southeast Asia to recognize marriage equality, allowing hundreds of same-sex couples to legally marry. The LGBTQ+ community, which has been advocating for equal marriage rights for over a decade, is celebrating this landmark moment.
Under the legislation passed by Thailand's parliament and endorsed by the king last year, same-sex couples now have the right to register their marriages with full legal, financial, and medical benefits, as well as adoption and inheritance rights.
