Same-sex couples call for marriage rights on Valentine's Day
Sexual Diversity Network members Thursday rallied at the CAT Telecom building to call for legalisation of same-sex marriage, so as not to deny them important legal rights such as family health insurance and inheritance rights.
Anjaree Foundation founder Anjana Suvarnnanond said many same-sex couples took care of each other and lived together for life, but their unions weren't recognised by law.
"We have to keep providing information to the public," said Chumaporn Tangkliang, a key member of the network, which represents lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
