BANGKOK (Bloomberg): Thailand’s senate is set to approve a same-sex marriage bill on Tuesday, which will bring the country closer to being the first in South-East Asia to guarantee equal rights for gay and lesbian couples.
"The marriage equality bill will move toward the finish line,” deputy government spokeswoman Rudklao Suwankiri said in a statement Sunday. The bill, if passed, will be sent to the cabinet for approval and submitted for royal endorsement, a process seen as a mere formality.
