Honey child, can't you just ignore it?

Uh oh. I'm not sure I can afford to live in such a premier place. Oh well, there's always rural Mississippi.

Heck yeah.

Or lesbian bed death. (It's a thing.)

Mincing about? Haters gonna hate.

Just had a 600 baht cashless order canceled saying they couldn't authorize card. Good news this time they did charge my bank but later automatically reversed it. I want to use cashless because I pay for a plan that gives me free delivery but not for cash orders.

Would it be speculation to wonder if that even exists? Anyway great and vital question.

I think that's fairly obvious. Gay people universally and globally tend to gather in cities for social and often survival reasons.

Already available. As a rough generality lower than straight marriages but male male marriages much more stable than female female. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_of_same-sex_couples

I think you're projecting and if they don’t want to see it they can simply and easily walk away.

You're right not everyone is ignorant and nasty but it's more than a few.

So, the historic day has arrived! Thailand now the first nation in Asean to have marriage equality. This is a big F in deal! However as this is an expat forum. I am not aware of any news as yet about the immigration law effects if any from this. Heck I am not even 100 percent sure that foreigners will be included at all. If you have information about that, please post. So it's probably premature to ask how LGBTQ+ expats will be impacted by this But perhaos you want to react anyway now about personal impact assuming expats will be included and will be included in immigration law. If not this could be bumped later when we have more information.

I agree. They will love it. Something free and festive that they don't have back home. Why travel if things aren't different?

How so? The immigration law implications if any of Thailand marriage equality are as far as I know completely unknown.

So do you actually believe that being a transgender person is such a trivial matter?

Yes they are obviously very different. Yes I agree there is a good chance other Asean nations like Cambodia and Vietnam may eventually follow Thailand's leadership but never all of them.

You were. This won't ever happen in Malaysia.

Some people can't just congratulate a long overdue expansion of civil rights in Thailand but instead are obsessing about imaginary slights to themselves while stewing in a toxic bath of acidic resentment. Predictable but disgusting.

No. Don't be daft.

As far as I know there has been no news about how this effects immigration matters if at all.

Same sex divorce.

They've been at this so long its kind of anticlimatic, eh? But yes historic. Good for Thailand and good for Thailand's international soft power brand.

Yeah there have been times that immigration has sprung harsh surprises without reasonable grace periods. That is why I recommend that everyone has a plan B outside of Thailand.

That's true. Nobody cares if they work in shops. This topic is really about the gay expat experience in Thailand. Not so much the Thai experience. That's a different area of discussion.
