BANGKOK (Bloomberg): Thailand is pushing ahead with its plan to legalise same-sex marriage, with lawmakers set to approve changes that would make the country the first in South-East Asia to guarantee equal marital rights.
A committee set up by the House of Representatives on Thursday approved the draft amendment to the country’s Civil and Commercial Code, according to Akaranun Khankittinan, a deputy chairman of the panel. Lawmakers are expected to take up the amended bill on March 27 for the second and third readings, he said.
