BANGKOK (NNT) - Thousands of LGBTQ+ people, their allies and political leaders marched through central Bangkok on Sunday to mark Pride month and promote gender equality in the second official Pride parade to be held in the country.

 

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said over 50,000 people joined this year’s Pride parade, more than double the attendance of last year’s event.

 

Political figures joining the parade included Pita Limjaroenrat, leader of the Move Forward Party (MFP), which is pushing to lead a coalition after winning the most seats in the May 14 general election.

 

Pita, who attended Sunday’s parade, told reporters that his party, once formed, "will support Marriage Equality (Act), Gender Identity (Act) and several others, including welfare."

 

The coalition, which consisted of eight political parties, has made a joint pledge to pass laws, including the Marriage Equality Act, to ensure equal rights for all couples regardless of gender.

 

Thailand has one of Asia’s most open LGBTQ+ communities, but some political activists say laws and traditional institutions have yet to reflect changing social attitudes and still discriminate against LGBTQ+ people and same-sex couples.

Thailand’s PM-hopeful and leader of the Move Forward Party (MFP) Pita Limjaroenrat pledged at a Pride event in Bangkok that he would mandate a Parliament vote for the marriage equality bill for LGBTQ+ people within 100 days after he takes office.

 

Mr. Pita spoke at yesterday’s event that the event showed the world the diverse forms of love in Thai society and emphasized that the celebration was not merely about parades or symbols, but about embracing and celebrating love in all its forms.

 

He also hoped that by 2028, Bangkok would have the opportunity to host the World Pride event, which would result in significant economic benefits and positive outcomes for the country.

There is one day for Mothers day, One day for Fathers day, one day for Veteran  day, one day for Queen

Victoria day. July 1st for Canada day, July 4th for America's day, one day for Christmas and one day for New Years day,                                                      so why does the Pride community get a whole month?

  Why not Pride day? Just asking.

We're so fabulous it takes a month to celebrate us rather than just a day.
