In June last year, its senate <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/thailand-marriage-equality-same-sex-marriage-bill-passes-senate\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">passed the landmark marriage equality bill<\/a><\/span>. The bill changed gender-specific terms in Thailand&#8217;s marriage laws to gender-neutral ones, The Guardian newspaper reported.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, activists lauded the new marriage law as a good first step, but said other reforms were necessary to offer better protections to LGBTQ couples. Mookdapa Yangyuenpradorn, a campaigner with the group Fortify Rights, told The Guardian that changes were still needed to the country&#8217;s civil and commercial codes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the eyes of the law biological parents are still recognized [in terms of] a man as a father and a woman as a mother,&#8221; Yangyuenpradorn said, meaning in a same-sex couple, one parent would have no legal connection to their child.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<p>                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/same-sex-marriage\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--sm\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n            More<br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/><\/svg><\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/haley-ott\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Haley Ott<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Haley Ott is the CBS News Digital international reporter, based in the CBS News London bureau.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/thailand-same-sex-marriage-law-takes-effect-mass-wedding-bangkok\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds of LGBTQ couples in Thailand got married Thursday as the country&#8217;s landmark marriage equality law came into effect.
