Thailand on the brink of legalising same-sex marriage in

If the bill passes, Thailand will become just the third territory in Asia – after Taiwan and Nepal – to legalise same-sex marriage

Thai lawmakers are set to vote on legalising same-sex marriage, putting the country on the brink of becoming the first southeast-Asian nation to recognise marriage equality.

The senate upper house is expected to approve the legislation on Tuesday, after which it will go to King Maha Vajiralongkorn for royal assent and come into force 120 days after publication in the official Royal Gazette.
