Thailand will go further than legalising same-sex marriage – PM

[webfact]

In its effort to promote gender diversity, Thailand will not stop at legalising same-sex marriage, which it will later become effective this year, according to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin today.

 

“Thailand will continue to support gender diversity after successfully passing the marriage equality bill. We are looking forward to pushing for gender recognition and sex worker laws,” he said.

 

He was speaking at the start of Pride parades at the National Stadium. With him were Pheu Thai party leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra and other senior party members.

 

Srettha also mentioned equality regarding gender honorifics, allowing LGBTQ+ people to choose their titles on official documents. Srettha did not, however, provide details about sex worker legislation.

You apparently didn't read the article. No, none of that, but haters gonna hate.

 

It's apparently become BOTH good politics and good policy in Thailand for politicians on different sides to support LGBT civil rights. Good news indeed. Civil rights in general should be a non-partisan issue in Thailand and everywhere.

This is as far as I can go🤔

When I saw the headline, I worried that "going further" meant *requiring* same sex marriage.

 

But when I read the article, it's obvious that it's just another "feel good" promise that will be forgotten.

 

Like the digital wallet and abolishing wine import duty.

If they make it mandatory I'm off.

Looking at the picture above, I can only hope that the one in yellow will never ever become PM of Thailand.

Maybe she should spend time playing with her kids. Because her father, the criminal, who promised to play with his grandkids, has obviously no time for that.

I hope Paetongtarn didn't cut up a pair of curtains to finish off her outfit?

Too gay-looking, you think?

[alant]

Whatever they do the question is, will they reverse the decision a few years later?

The problem is more with her brain and her father and family.

The fact that she promotes pride is obviously also concerning.

Why does this stupid drivel come out every time we discuss gay marriage?

sex worker laws,” he said.

 

That would be a major step forward.

It could give the workers some protection as well as social security for health.

What's up next - government endorsed marriage of young children to satisfy the sexual perversion of "Youth-attracted persons?"  How about legalized marriage between humans and animals?  Hey - why have limits? 

I have no problem with same-sex marriage between consenting adults.  But there are limits.  Children are off-limits.  Bestiality is off-limits.  Anything that harms people is off-limits.

So Srettha - what sort of perversion do you plan on promoting?

Exactly, no need for this. The whole concept was already pretty much well accepted and integrated in Thai society and daily life.

Also the potential dangers to politicize these already well accepted concepts are apparently not appropriately understood.

He was in contact with German administration?? I've been told in Germany you can change your gender every year. So one year Lady, the other year boy. Lots of work in the offices I guess.😂

In 20 years time they couldn't manage to pass the same sex marriage law. So first start with that before making more false promises

Again more armchair drivel…

Gay marriage has been the law of the land in other countries for decades and this prejudiced trope has not occurred!
What has happened is millions of gay couples have formed wonderful families and become some of the best soccer moms and dads one could only dream of having…
