The bill comes after more than two decades of effort from activists and politicians, after previous drafts did not reach parliament.

该法案的通过是活动人士和政治家二十多年努力的结果，此前的草案未能提交给议会。

With the support of nearly all lawmakers in the upper house, the law next needs royal approval. It will come into force 120 days after it is published in the royal gazette.

在参议院几乎所有议员的支持下，该法案接下来需要获得皇室批准。该法案将在《皇家公报》上公布后120天生效。

LGBT advocates called the move a "monumental step forward," as Thailand would be the first nation in Southeast Asia to enact marriage equality legislation and the third territory in Asia, after Nepal and Taiwan.

LGBT权益倡导者称此举是“向前迈出的重要一步”，因为泰国将成为东南亚第一个颁布婚姻平等法的国家，也是继尼泊尔和台湾之后亚洲第三个颁布婚姻平等法的地区。



"We are very proud to make history," said Plaifah Kyoka Shodladd, member of a parliamentary committee on same-sex marriage.

“我们为创造历史感到非常自豪，”同性婚姻议会委员会成员Plaifah Kyoka Shodladd说。

"Today love triumphed prejudice ... after fighting for more than 20 years, today we can say that this country has marriage equality."

“今天爱情战胜了偏见……经过20多年的奋斗，今天我们可以说这个国家实现了婚姻平等。”

Lawmakers and activists were seen celebrating in Thailand's parliament, waving rainbow flags and smiling, with some raising their fists in solidarity with the LGBT community. Thailand, one of Asia's most popular tourist destinations, is already known for its vibrant LGBT culture and tolerance.

泰国议会议员和活动人士挥舞着彩虹旗，面带微笑，庆祝这一时刻，一些人还握拳向LGBT群体表示团结。泰国是亚洲最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一，以其充满活力的LGBT文化和宽容而闻名。

At the start of June, thousands of revellers and activists paraded through the streets of Bangkok and were joined by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, who wore a rainbow shirt to celebrate Pride Month. "This would underscore Thailand's leadership in the region in promoting human rights and gender equality," the Civil Society Commission of marriage equality, activists and LGBTQI couples said in a statement.

六月初，数千名狂欢者和活动人士在曼谷的街头游行，泰国总理巴育·占奥差也加入了他们的行列，他穿着一件彩虹衬衫来庆祝骄傲月。“这突显了泰国在促进人权和性别平等方面在东南亚的领导力，”婚姻平等民间社会委员会、活动家和LGBTQI夫妇在一份声明中表示。
