Thai PM joins LGBTQ+ couples ahead of first same-sex marriages
LGBTQ+ couples and activists have gathered in Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, to celebrate ahead of the country’s first same-sex weddings on Thursday (23 January).
Last June, Thailand became the first country in Southeast Asia to legalise gay marriage.
Prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra invited dozens of couples and LGBTQ+ activists to Government House to celebrate, writing on Instagram: “January 23, 2025 will be the day we all make history together,” alongside a photo of guests in suits and wedding dresses. “The love of everyone is legally recognised with honour and dignity.
“From January 23, everyone, every couple, regardless of gender, can register their marriage at district offices throughout Thailand.”
