In a landmark decision, Thailand's parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill that could pave the way for same-sex marriage. The bill received an overwhelming majority of 399 to 10 votes in the lower house. However, it still needs to be approved by the Senate and receive the king's approval before it can become law. If passed, this could position Thailand as the first Southeast Asian country to legally recognize same-sex unions.
