The immigration law implications if any of Thailand marriage equality are as far as I know completely unknown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictable but disgusting. If you don't mind me saying, I think you might be being a little over-sensitive here. I know this is a subject close to your heart but I think the vast majority of people posting here are being very supportive of all this. There's the usual couple of idiots of course but it wouldn't be AN without the uneducated now would it? Edited June 19 by johnnybangkok 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a rough generality lower than straight marriages but male male marriages much more stable than female female. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_of_same-sex_couples 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dress like a woman and your Thai wife dresses like a man, how does that even vaguely come close to meeting the criteria for a same sex marriage?

Just on a side note I had a friend who died here, in a long term relationship with a LB, He had already made all the necessary paperwork for 'Her' as he had a terminal illness to get all his assets, which 'She' did. so a marriage is not necessary unless maybe if you want to adopt kids. This seems just about for Thais IMO. All smoke n mirrors for Thailand to Look Good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the Netherlands where this is allowed 23 years: 20 years of gay marriage in the Netherlands: 20 thousand couples | CBS "Marriages between two women are of a shorter duration than marriages between two men or between a man and a woman. Of the women who married another woman in 2010, 26 percent were divorced after almost ten years (on 1 January 2020). This is almost twice as much as for married male couples (14 percent). The divorce rate among heterosexual couples is comparable to that of gay male couples: 16 percent were divorced after ten years." CBS = Central Buro of Statistics in the Netherlands, so a reliable source. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extension of stay does not confer permanent residence status which is a longer procedure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Counter to the general image of male homosexuals as wandering sex-obsessed rats and lesbians as fairly stable and stay-at-home. My personal observation - off a small statistical base in Oz & NZ - is in line with the quoted stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People having a good time and dressing the way they choose for a party time isn’t nonsensical…. except to people who just live to be angry about something that doesn’t negatively impact on them in any way.
