Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 A demonstration, led by political activist, Brahmasara “Fah” Viradhammajari and his partner Titat “Peter” Kuantrakul, was held at the CAT Telecom building in Bangkok today (Monday), when they intended to request a marriage license, which were being issued on Valentine’s Day. The couple also displayed a rejection letter, issued by Bang Rak district office, which states that their marriage license request has not been granted, because Thai law only accepts marriage between a man and a woman. Brahmasara said that they are upset by the decision, as they have tried very hard to get same-sex marriages officially recognised, noting that the government does not understand gender diversity.

I wonder what would happen if they stripped the rights of a heterosexual marriage, as they have now.. wife/husband dead.. you are not family so no rights. Your partner in a hospital, you can't anything because you are no family, just a few things you don't need to worry about.. but samesex couples have to accept?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh we would get used to it and adapt and adopt other legal mechanisms to cater to all our needs.

daveAustin Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hetero here, but it does seem a bit ironic Thailand being behind on this, beens as they’re generally accepting of anything goes, at a societal level at least. Perhaps face at play, but more bureaucratic silliness. Actually looking at a map (below), Asia in general is behind along with the usual suspects where freedom is an issue. wiki map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand is actually very conservative. Its one of the most religious countries in the world. Look beyond the superficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
