pegman Posted March 28, 2024 Posted March 28, 2024 3 hours ago, neeray said: I read of a court case recently here in Canada (although it might have been USA) where the judge was confused and in order to make a ruling stated that he was mixed up on the he/she thing and determined the only sure way forward was to answer the question, "was she/he born with a vagina?". Understandably, gender modification can be confusing. No doubt Thailand will experience some "growing" pains should this legislation move forward. (No, I don't have a link). I don't think Canada has judges that dumb so must be the other place. 1

Popular Post mfd101 Posted March 28, 2024 Popular Post Posted March 28, 2024 So let's not get too excited too soon. I wouldn't put it past the Senate dinosaurs to nullify the legislation as their last act before they disappear. Assuming the best happens by the end of the year, my b/f and I are certainly looking forward to it: Our Oz partnership in Canberra in 2013 (pre-gay marriage) gave protection to my b/f when (as I expect) I predecease him (he's 40 years younger than me). It means he has entitlement to 2/3 of my Federal Government superannuation for the rest of his life, plus any other Oz assets. In the same year we had a Buddhist wedding ceremony in our village here in south Surin, which gave us social/family recognition even in the absence of officialdom. When I queried the situation as we began planning the ceremony, the response from the village elders was a very firm: "Marriage is for two people who love each other." Can't get clearer than that. What the formally-recognized marriage now in prospect will do is give ME protection here in Thailand in the event that my b/f predeceases me. He owns all the assets here - house, land, car. (I just own the money-flow.) 1 1 3

NorthernRyland Posted March 28, 2024 Posted March 28, 2024 Bread and circuses, same as in the West. Gay marriage is a tiny issue (% of the population which is gay + the % of gays which will ever marry) that pales in comparison to other serious problems. Giving the urban liberals gay marriage and weed shuts them up for a while. 2

KhunLA Posted March 28, 2024 Posted March 28, 2024 You all are going to have to wait till it squeaks by the Senate, before you're dancing in the streets. You might be setting yourself up for yet another disappointing time. Hang in there, sooner or later, you'll all be able to be just as miserable as the divorced cis folks. Damned if you do, if you do get the right, damned if you don't ... but you'll always have something to complain about. See, there's always a bright side to what ever the vote is. 1

In the US it from gay marriage to full blown trans mania is like 5 years. Thailand probably makes it illegal for trans to enter women's bathrooms so expect them to start attacking this angle next. Thailand is sadly not well versed enough in America politics to know where this goes but they're opening a can of worms on themselves. 1 2

zhounan Posted March 28, 2024 Posted March 28, 2024 Joking comment: I approve. Why do only normal people have to pay the consequences of divorce? Serious comment: I approve all forms of relationships. The important thing is that no political and ideological propaganda, especially to children, is made to favor these kinds of unions at the expense of relationships between women and men (re-joking: women and man). 1 1
realfunster Posted March 28, 2024 Posted March 28, 2024 3 hours ago, waders123 said: Until same-sex marriage is officially announced as being legal in the Gazette, it is only an idea. Legalizing same-sex marriages should have happened 15-20 years ago; Thailand could have been benefiting all these years from the influx of money and set the standard as the preferred destination for the LGBTQ+ community in Southeast Asia. It's not too late to turn this around and capitalize on it before neighboring countries legalize same-sex marriages and start aggressively vying for the "Gay dollar." Blimey, and many on here are quick to criticize the Thais for being money obsessed… In response to your specific comments, as the article notes only Taiwan and Nepal have taken this step so far, so not sure how Thailand has lost ground on this issue. I would have thought that Thailand would have been seen as a pretty welcoming and tolerant destination for LGBTQ+ for a long time already? A brief Google indicates lots of potential legal/rights/societal challenges (and I don’t mean just not being able to marry) for LGBTQ+ across most of SEAsia and Asia, I didn’t bother checking Malaysia and Indonesia for obvious reasons…. Anyway, a decision to be applauded and let’s hope the Senate dinosaurs don’t block it. 1 1
