well, let's get the details from our south east asia correspondent, jonathan head. it's the first time in this region that any government has come so close to passing a law giving completely equal rights in marriage. it's something, of course, that lgbtq+ groups have been campaigning forfor a very long time. they've come close to it before. it's been years and years of campaigning. i mean, thailand has a very open and accepting climate or attitude towards same—sex marriage, to lgbtqi communities, but the law has always been the hardest thing to get over. now, we believe the law has now passed by 399—10 and that leaves only the upper house, the appointed senate, to approve it, which we believe is, essentially, a formality. then the king's approval, then the law is likely to be enacted by the end of the year. i mean, for people living in same—sex relationships, this is enormously important. it's notjust having formal, official recognition of their partnerships, of their marriages, but also it has legal implications for inheritance of property, for, you know, pow
