The Marriage Equality Law Has Been Enacted In Thailand...

The Marriage Equality Law has been enacted in Thailand...

The news that His Majesty, the King has signed and approved the Marriage Equality Law was announced in the Royal Gazette today, September 24, 2024. This means that the law will officially come into effect on January 22, 2025!!!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

What new changes has the law brought into effect?

- Two individuals can marry regardless of gender

- The minimum age for marriage has been raised from 17 to 18 (You will still need parental consent to marry should you be under the age of 20, which is what Thailand considers a "legal adult")

- Thai citizens can register their foreign marriages under Thai Law (I am very happy to see this being specified as I wasn't sure it would be-- big excitement for someone who has a 'foreign' partner)

- Joint Adoptions are allowed

- Spouses have the right to inherit after spousal death

- Spouses can be assigned as medical proxies to make any/all medical decisions for their spouse

- Spouses gain rights under social security law: including compensation and retirement benefits in case of spousal death

- Spouses are entitled to tax benefits, including personal income tax deductions

Looking to the future, there is currently a draft for the "Gender Identity Recognition Act" that, I desperately hope, is on its way to parliament 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

Home is the reason Peach is haunted and now Peach is going to be haunting Home but hadn't he been this whole time. Home doesn't drive, Home isolates himself rather than looking for connections, Home assumes everything must be done alone.

Peach might see literal ghosts but he's been haunting Home's narrative for three years just as literally.

ten + gay panic

+ after prem asked him out for a date

+ when actually seeing prem on said date

I wonder if Home changed after that night. He doesn't drive anymore and he keeps the car hidden away so it does affect him in some way. But I wonder if before he was even louder, more outrageous, or if that part of his personality became more pronounced as a weird coping mechanism. How often, if at all, did it come back to haunt him in the states, knowing that living there was his own weird, not at all appropriate or comparable, punishment. How much did it change his relationship with his grandfather? With his uncle?

Did he think about the accident at all when he came back, even if only out of fear that the consequences of his actions would finally come back to haunt him? Did he even know that the person survived after all?

What is he going to do now?
