American transwoman marries Thai woman, fueling hopes for future of same sex marriage (video)

[webfact]

 

In a heartwarming story that transcended stereotypes, an American transwoman married her Thai partner in Thailand on Sunday, June 4. They hope their same-sex union will be accepted in the country.

 

The touching tale gained widespread attention after a popular Thai makeup artist, known as Wave Make Up on TikTok, shared videos of the couple, introducing them to the online community. Each video swiftly garnered over 5,000 likes from enthusiastic Thai TikTokers.

 

Captured in the videos, the couple is adorned in exquisite traditional Thai bridal attire. The 64 year old American transwoman, Danny, radiated elegance in a stunning pink dress, while her 46 year old Thai partner, Chalalai, exuded charm in a vibrant red ensemble.

Congratulations and well wishes poured in from netizens, who were moved by their story. Many were curious to delve deeper into the couple’s remarkable journey, prompting ThaiRath to interview them and shed light on their unique love story.

Chalalai shared that she first encountered Danny at a friend’s birthday celebration. Initially, she felt no particular attraction towards Danny, as she had never before been drawn to individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community or those of the same gender.

Geeeez  used to be lgbtq.... are they going to go through the whole alphabet? or discover a new alien sex gene?

 

be what you wanna be and i am all for it, but this identifying onesself to all these things is turning into bs ones freedom ends where anothers begins but this is getting too much

 

as for the bride and bride, i hope they get what they wish. people should be able to live and die and give away their estates without all the red tape in today's messed up world

[kingkenny]

They are not the same sex though, who writes this drivel.

[Jingthing]

If the American lady's passport shows her gender as male then they could legally marry in Thailand a d it would not be a same sex marriage under the law as unfortunately same sex marriage is not yet legal here.

How does people having different identities infringe on you?

errrrr identities? you mean gender no doubt. gender neutral/transgender toilets? men being sent to women's prisons cos they suddenly claim they feel like women? binary prople? people wantng to be called it or they? i used to respect you, but i hope you get the picture. i prolly forgot quite a few examples. 

 

all these changes are a barometer of what is going wrong in the world. be gay or heterosexual i dont give a flip, as for the rest if you can justify all this crap , here, on this forum, i will admit defeat. go ahead anx give it a try

[bignok]

They want same sex marriage which is not allowed in most countries. They want people to stop abusing them.

 

I think everyone should dress different. Guys in suits look like complete ankers. Wear something different.

I don't believe any of what you wrote above actually infringes on you. It's like you're repeating fear propaganda talking points from right wing media.

Yes and she's a transgender woman apparently. 

[FritsSikkink]

Doubt you are very liberal. Why is it pushed in your face, you see the headline if you don't like it, don't read.

More likely you push your face into it and make quite the effort to push your view to people who DO want to read the article. 

[AndyFoxy]

So, is this same sex marriage because it's two blokes getting married, even though they have female clothes on?

He didn't say that they did infringe on him in his supportive comment to them.

Which one is Farang?

The couple is a Thai woman and an American transgender woman. Not two blokes.

The couple is a Thai woman and an American transgender woman bloke. Not two blokes.

[ChipButty]

Same sex marriage must be both men, Im confused

[KhunLA]

So not a 'same sex' marriage ... ????

 

Saying, thinking you're a woman, but having a penis, does not make you a female ...

... IMHO

So one bloke and one woman. So it isn't same sex marriage then. Got it.
