We fought for it for decades and today is a remarkable day that love is love,
Recently a country's leader said that there were only two genders, but I think we are more open-minded than that,
The legalization of same-sex marriage uplifts our dignity,
We are so happy. We've been waiting for this day for 10 years,
So happy, like, oh my God ... my heart is beating,
I have always accepted [him]. Whatsoever, it is OK with me."
I’m so happy. It’s long overdue,
With the power of love by all of you, today Thailand marks a historic day in making the world know that we embrace every kind of love, every gender that is a fundamental part of democracy,
The law may take effect today but that doesn’t mean discrimination against LGBTQ+ community has changed overnight,
And we can build our family in our own way because I believe that every kind of love, every kind of family is beautiful as it is,
I want to see the same-sex marriage law available in every country where LGBTQ+ couples are,
Don’t put a limit just because they are same sex or whatever they are. Love is a beautiful thing. We should not stop them,
We can love, we love equally, legally,
I believe our heart is bigger.”
Today I feel particularly excited that we will have the law to protect both of us,
I want Thailand to be a country that inspires our neighbors in ASEAN to open the door to freedom for all humanity,
Every love is the same, every love is the same inside,
Our next official plan is to change my paperwork, because I have him listed down as my brother. Now I can officially call him my spouse,
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,
We're so happy that Thai people here — now they can express their love in public and they can be accepted worldwide,
