The Thai Senate officially passed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in a third and final reading, making Thailand the third country in Asia to recognize same-sex marriage after Taiwan and Nepal. The bill, which will be signed by the Thai king, is expected to take effect in 120 days, possibly as early as October, allowing the first legal same-sex marriages in Thailand. The new law incorporates gender-neutral language in marriage definitions and grants equal rights in adoption and inheritance. This significant advancement in LGBTQ+ rights has been praised as historic and positions Thailand as the first country in Southeast Asia to recognize same-sex marriage.
