'Monumental step': Thai king signs same-sex marriage into law, a first in Southeast Asia "Thailand on Tuesday became the first country in Southeast Asia to legalise same-sex union after King Maha Vajiralongkorn signed a historic marriage equality law. Thai activists have been pushing for same-sex marriage rights for more than a decade, with their advocacy often stalled by political upheaval. Currently, only two other countries in Asia recognise same-sex marriage: Taiwan and Nepal."
