Thai king signs same-sex marriage bill into law
(www.bbc.com)
Love being an international criminal.
If you're going to be a James Bond villain you need a name. I suggest the mind goblin
Or Cock Gobblin'?
The yellow on that map looks different to the yellow on the key
There are three yellows: one for unenforced prison for intercourse, one for just general but unenforced restrictions on expression, and one for countries that resrict association like Russia and a few neighboring states (slightly orange). I can check later to see if the key matches the map, but it seems to my untrained eye like it does.
Just checked in a different browser — turns out my default one with dark mode screws up the colours
It's so baffling that this is still an issue anywhere.
I know widespread acceptance is very recent but I stand by my bafflement.
It depends how old you are, and your perception of time. If you were born after 2000 and in a relatively liberal democracy, it's all you've ever know and can consider to be normal. If you were born in the 80s, you may have experienced being called "gay" or "homo" at school and seen LGBT people as perhaps bad, or felt shame for your own inclinations. If you were born a few decades earlier, you will very possibly have been against the concept of changing marriage as it had always existed as one thing, and changing it would be akin to changing the constitution which you've stood by your whole life.
Yep. I was born in 1977. To my shame, I used to use words like 'gay' (or worse) as an insult when I was a kid.
Wow good on Thailand! I'm shocked not sooner considering all the lady-boy stuff going on lol. Think they'd be down for that kinda stuff.
Was he in Thailand for that? From what I hear, he spends most of his time in Bavaria, Germany.
I think he just swans back when it's convenient to keep up appearances.
Yay! First Taiwan and now Thailand!!! Let's goooooo!!!
Good move from the Thai king.
Trying to save their own ass from the young people who want to boot his ass off the throne.
People from their southern neighbor now has more cross border marriage options 😁
