HuskerDo2 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Culture possibly. Maybe they don't deem it a priority. Maybe they don't agree with it. Maybe because they are slow on everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherJane Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Support for gay marriage is mostly a Western thing, if you look on the map. So the arguments in favor have a cultural basis, and do not apply strongly, to Thailand. Where marriage is seen as between a man and a woman, to produce children. In Western societies, social obligation on marriage is rownplayed, and even heterosexual marriage is a lifestyle choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
