Couples wed in a riot of colour as Thailand legalises same-sex marriage | BBC News


More than a thousand LGBTQ couples across Thailand will marry today as same-sex unions become legal in the country.

The law kicked into effect on Thursday after a sustained campaign that one activist described as a "long fight full of tears”.

But activists say they are fighting for more changes because many laws are still not gender-neutral.
