What a gay day as businessman puts down million baht dowry to marry student

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

Two gay men married in a lavish ceremony surrounded by flowers at a house in Samut Prakarn yesterday.

 

The fancy floral arrangements were no surprise to reporters - one of the grooms was 26 year old Phatsakorn Jaemmeuang who owns the B and N Flower business.

 

He put down a million baht dowry to marry 21 year old Jatuphong Jarucha, a fourth year student at college.

 

His mum said she was so happy that he had found true love.

 

The wedding at the house in Laem Fa Pha sub-district was a big affair with 30 tables set up for a Chinese feast.

Well, aren't the homophobes and the "You musn't ever pay dowry in Thailand" specialists going to have fun with this one!

Cute couple.

But same sex marriage is not legally recognized in Thailand.

huh?

Adam and Eva are protagonists in a work of fiction that isn't more valid than Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings for explaining the universe...

Although lately, say the last 100 years or so, many of those stories seem to be confirmed by findings.  Contrary to star wars and lord of the rings, nothing has been found to shore up those stories.......yet.  In short, believe or don't believe what you want, and leave others free to believe what they want to believe.  And I am not religious.

And if someone, for whatever reason, don't believe in same sex marriages, it simply is his belief.  And he has as many rights to ventilate his beliefs as anybody else.

some historical details, such as landmarks, cities, etc. confirmed, yes.  the main points of the stories such as "and God said...",  no.

God made these two people (and millions of others) gay.

There is no evidence that God exists.

The poster I replied to appeared to believe in an imaginary friend that is omnipotent. So, following his line of thought, this being made the guys gay and then wrote a bible stating that being gay is bad. And then says he is somebody we should somehow look up to.

Get ready for the same old leftie buzzword insults by those who absolutely refuse to accept that other people have an opinion that differs from their own.

 

A few decades ago they were called Nazis.

Well, if there is a god, apparently he made a bunch of gay guys as well as Adam and Eve. So I guess that was his intention. Unless he made some mistakes???

My opinion is that people against equal rights for gay people are indeed bigots. They often rationalize their bigotry with religious dogma. I'm not a Nazi.

RUBBISH!

Then you suggest its abnormal and made up, while others see reason for cures.

Love is emotion and the rest is man made calculation!

I wish the newly weds all the love in the world, @ home!

The world`s population would decrease.

 

With the present world population estimated to be 7 billion and rising, I don`t think a major decrease in humans would be a bad thing. Maybe if billions of people were to turn gay, lesbian, whatever, maybe a way of saving the human race and the resources on our planet.

If one choses to believe in an invisible man in the sky.

And the earth is 6000 years old.

 

They choose to be delusional.

[swissie]

As we all know, God created Eve from a rib of Adam. Having so many "spare ribs", he decided that sexual diversity can only enliven the world. Thats why we have about 77 different sexual orientations.
Cheers.

OK, I don't believe in opposite sex marriages. I would like to outlaw them just as same sex marriages are in Thailand. But the same sex marriages should be made legal. The straight people can still hook up with each other as they like, but society should never legally recognize their committed relationships. I am not bigoted against straight people. That's just my opinion. 

 

Do you get it now?

Unfortunately, you are in my world. And you are saying that same-sex marriage or even being gay is bad. 

 

Why such huge amount of intolerance? What is it to you, personally? Why won't you love your neighbour as he is?

Well, we are in the same world, only you say that for some people, being as they are (or as your god made them) won't be accepted by you.

The world population hasn't decreased and there have been gay people for thousands, millions of years. There are gay dogs, penguins, swans... and they aren't extinct either. It is perfectly natural for a small percentage of the population to be gay.

If you believe in god, why are you against the world as he created it?

You may have misunderstood me. There is no need to look for a "cure" for something that is perfectly natural. And being gay is not "made up", one is gay or not. It is a fact, not a decision.

Numerous off-topic, troll posts and replies removed.  

 

This is the gay forum.   This is not the place for anti-gay remarks.   You may agree with the OP or not, but anti-gay rhetoric will not be tolerated, nor will posts that are nothing more than a deflection.  

 

Continuing will result in suspensions.

They look happy, I wish them a long and happy life, I despise the title though,  it implies the teacher bought the partner with 1 million baht.  What does the dowry have to do with this day for them??
