Gay marriage demanded as next government's agenda

Gay rights activist Natee Teerarojanapong called on Thursday for the next government to push for the legal sanction of gay marriage as an urgent agenda following the December 23 election.



"The demand of the third sex is meant for sexual equality without any discrimination," Natee said.

He said gay marriage should not be construed as a priviledge but a way of life in a nondiscriminatory manner.

"If society denies gay people their rights, then this will force them to lead a false life such as the deception of women for marriage in order to win social acceptance," he said.

He said the next government should also amend the military regulations that label gay conscripted soldiers as suffering from the psychological disorder before wavering constription duty. The label has no medical justification and stigmatised gay for the rest of their life, he said.
