BANGKOK:  , Thailand’s lower house of , parliament , on Wednesday ( Mar 27 ) passed a marriage equality Bill , at the final reading, in a , landmark , step that , moves , the country  , closer , to becoming the third territory in Asia to legalise , same- sex , unions.
Before it becomes law, the Bill  currently needs authorization from the Senate and support from the prince. It had the help of all of , Thailand’s big events and was passed by 400 of the 415 politicians current, with 10 election against it.
” We did this for all Thai people to lower disparity in world and start creating equality”, Danuphorn Punnakanta, president of the , parliamentary commission on the document Bill, told legislators ahead of the reading.
” I want to ask you all to produce history”.
The moving of the Bill , marks a major step towards cementing , Thailand’s position as one of Asia’s most progressive societies on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues, with openness and complimentary- riding attitudes coexisting with standard, traditional Buddhist values.
