I can think of a lot of things that the world needs but gays doesn't come to mind

1. They aren't likely to add to the population of an over populated planet.

2. They are are usually sympathetic , understanding individuals, happy to listen.

3. Stylish and fashionable, and good company.

4. Many are highly creative and intelligent. Oscar Wilde, Stephen Fry, Lord Byron [bi], Francis Bacon[both the poet and the painter] etc etc.

5. Unlikely to be alcoholic loser whoremongers.

Why farang need pay?its same gender very bizar..i now will break up with my ladyboy..

If you have any money at all having a big wedding is the norm in Thailand. That's just the way it is here and most other places as well. I know some of you went to the Amphur office and had the clerk volunteer to be a witness to save cash but that is considered a bit unusual.

Okay it is a meaningless ceremony with nothing that benefited either person. Sure you could get letters. Have fun getting them translated, this form of proof is so obvious. A picture says a thousand words. If you do not understand that a commitment ceremony is legit proof of a relationship I really do not know what to tell you.

1) it is a meaningless ceremony with nothing that benefited either person.

 

Exactly. other than a show I agree with you.

 

2) Sure you could get letters. Have fun getting them translated,

 

Anyone who knows the British embassy would also know that any documents, letters, proof for a 'case' of 'immigration' is not an issue to have them translated. 

 

3) A picture says a thousand words.

 

Yes, the poor boy being bought doing the rounds of social media stuck in my mind too.

 

4)  If you do not understand that a commitment ceremony is legit proof of a relationship I really do not know what to tell you.

 

Any comment would be superfluous. A commitment ceremony. Check some other pics.

He doesn't "need to" at all. He can choose to or not, with whatever consequences that may or may not have for his relations with his partner and his partner's family.

 

In my case I reminded my about-to-be MIL that I was building her a new house @ 1.5m฿ so which did she want? the house or the 200,000฿ she was asking? Much merriment followed & we settled on 100,000฿ which I duly placed on the big dish with the pig's head, the fanta, the water, the fruit & the flowers that sat in front of us during the ceremony.  The money was counted at the end of the ceremony to check it was all there.

 

No sweat.

So you would be okay with it if it was legally recognized? Yes or no? Your main argument seems to stem from the ceremony being invalid because of the fact the people involved in it are deprived of their human rights to make a legal commitment.

It says a lot more about other posters that they wouldn't do this for the love of their life.

You are missing my point.

 

Don't bring human rights into this.

This conversation is impossible to have with out considering human rights. You agree gays should have the right to get married right?

[Minnie the Minx]

Not at all.

 

Directed post above. Human rights is not an issue here. 

 

It unnecessary and ridiculous in the eyes of those not residing in Thailand.

So the fact that they aren't able to have a legally recognized wedding which is what you rambled on about is not relevant. One day it will be the law and dinosaurs such as yourself will be looked upon like people that argued against interracial marriage. 

 

Thanks for clarifying it isn't these people in particular that bother you but the concept of equal rights in general that has your panties in a bunch.

If it was just for show no problem but I seen how wasteful FIL are and it's clear to me and the Mrs that no amount of cash can fix the issues and it's simply better to move 100km or more away and blame me for their distance. I can live with that and build for a better future in her family name. Love of my life yes but part of that feeling grew when I gave her some cash to hold for the future of our family not the past and as our family grows, it grows.

It is a meaningless amount for the guy who gave it. I set up weddings in Hawaii for Japanese that cost more just to rent the venue. Maybe wasteful to you but financial pin prick for others.

I'm sorry, I am not in Thailand do please refrain for calling me a dinosaur.

 

I have no issues with same sex marriages, I am for all women priests too. Interracial? Thanks, nice but you are bringing racism into this as well.

I asked you if gay marriage should be legal and you replied.... no not at all. 

 

This is why I said you are a dinosaur. Maybe English isn't your first language?

I find you rude and am leaving this conversation.

 

Good luck to the married couple.

That grown adults can do whatever they want with their money and it is a good thing. The amounts given in the OP are not even unreasonably high or ostentatious.

What type of dinosaur?

 

Beady eyes flying one or a vegetarian type? 

 

Do read up. 

 

I'm all for gay marriage. Keep it real though.
