Better if everyone could????

Easy. You only need 800K baht in a Thai bank account. Sorry if out of topic, but I assumed you wanted the information.

    Better they scrap that bill instead, or clearly state that if two people can´t live, work and function as man and woman in all areas. Then they should not have the right to them. You can´t be given a

Sure thing, dude. After all, societies allowing minority groups semi-equal civil rights is such a horrible thing.

No it’s not horrible it’s justice.

Yeah, sure it is. Just think about what happens if a minority in the elected government in a democratic state would be accepted as the top decision maker, and the majority has to bow in to their decision. It just doesn´t have that touch of reality, does it?

Your post is really too BIZARRE to reply to. But it does say an awful lot about YOU.

if this equates to marriage

then a male partner might be able to get Thai nationality

Quite a reasonably good-sized stride forward, I think. Not perfection for those obsessed with the word 'marriage' but an important improvement for all of us in our daily lives: formal recognition of our relationships + huge practical advantages as those above have mentioned.

Thanks! I am also very proud of myself and my sexual stance in life.

just do not bring this on innocent children that needs a genuine mother and father

All a child needs is to grow up in a loving enviroment,two fathers,two mothers or one of each it is all the same.

Too bad you can not accept that.so you maybe happy and rich but you are also a shortsighted person.

Horrible idea.

There, I said it - boo

 

Civil partnership, same rights perhaps. Only Thai nationals.

 

Sangkha never gonna go for this nor should they.

No, I am not shortsighted. So, you are telling me that the best for a child is not to be able to grow up in a natural environment with their biological mother and father. Why in the world has that combination been the most protected through all times then? Do you think that was just because the world have so many shortsighted persons and you are the guiding light of knowledge?

Why would I be sad over that? Just don´t give them the same rights to adopt children. That due to that a combination of two of the same sex, can´t produce children by themselfs even at a health and normal stage in life. That clearly means, it was not meant to be.

Wooow there horse! No children can grow up in many family environments, love is more important than gender lots of kids get emotionally wrecked by lack of love between parents Hetro or gay.

 

but your allowed your views and to air them so no great conspiracy.

As I said. The self appointed light of guidance, with no proof whatsoever of the things you talk about.

Thanks for asking. That´s easy! Just Google "the ideal family situation for a child".

The result and answers you get there, is going to be much more than you ever can provide in the opposite direction.

If you choose to not call that proof is totally up to you. That means you say that you are right and they are wrong. And again we have the minority trying to stand up against the majority.

Not the same rights. Read the OP.

They aren't including adoption rights.

It is the name "mariedge" that seems to invoc  religious and social reactions.

 IMO  The word marriage  should be dropped from the official lexicon for everyone, and replaced with civil union.

Different segments of the population can call it whatever they want on their own , but for official purposes it should be a civil union or a Trilateral contract ( the two people entering the union and government) all parties  required to perform certain requirements as described under law. 

Such arrangement should not require a sexual component be it heterosectual, homosecrual, bysexual or what ever, but should be available to all humans of legal age and sound mind .

In addition to traditional unions, or non traditional unions with a sexua component Two platonic friends who wish to live together should be able to enjoy protections and privileges provide under the law. 

IMO such arrangement would be more fair, without the associated baggage. Eventually as people  realise that the sky did not fall ,it will become a non issue.

The discussion against allowing gay marriage seems to imply the purpose of marriage is to produce a stable

environment for raising children.

 

By the same logic women pass the childbearing age or couples not desire to have children should not be allowed to get married. Men with vasasectomy should not be allowed to marry. Man too old to take care of a child should not be allowed to marry.

Mini heterosexual couples do not provide a good environment for raising children

Aside from what? Pretty close.

 

I doubt many Thai men are interested in adopting kids anyway.

 

Sure they should not extend thus to farang. Stoopid.

I totally agree!

 

Everyone should have civil unions and if you want to be married - go see a monk, priest, shaman, imam, rabbi or ordained drag queen dressed as a nun.

 

I couldn't care less either way, so long as they don't make it mandatory ????   

Maybe we could define marriage as it was originally intended as a virgin man and virgin women joining together to raise a family and call everything else civil union

 

A person should only be allowed to get married once and after that just call it a civil union
