ever since the thai government announced it would be taking into consideration its population's views on the subject, a civil partnership bill has been approved, that is waiting for parliamentary vote, that will legalise same sex union in the country, with almost the same rights as married couples including child adoption and joint property ownership. however, there are elements in it that thai (lgbt+) people have concerns with, such as: the bill allows same sex couples to register their union, but has been criticised for only covering property and inheritance and for being vague about whether "civil partners" are entitled to the same rights, duties, and protection that thai marriage law gives married couples. the thread, linked above, provides more details, as well what thai citizens can do to show their concerns regarding the civil partnership bill, such as: its definition of "civil partnership" as being between two individuals of the same gender as assigned at birth, thus excluding trans and non-binary individuals, as well as other issues listed in the thread.
