Thailand is set to become Southeast Asia’s first nation to legalize same-sex marriage after its Senate approved a marriage equality bill on Tuesday. The bill passed overwhelmingly, with 130 senators in favor and only four opposed. Supporters hailed it as a “monumental step forward for LGBTQ+ rights.” The bill now awaits the king's endorsement, considered only a formality. It will become effective in 120 days after being published in the Royal Gazette. #Queer Up The World View
