The Office of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Sexual Diversity Network are considering pushing forward draft legislation to back the marital status of "gay" relationships.
NHRC secretary-general Chuchai Suphawong said yesterday the draft law to back "gay" relationship status was a good thing and NHRC would fully support it.
Chuchai was speaking at a seminar considering draft laws to be proposed in the lead-up to the Asia Pacific Forum (of national human rights groups), which will hold its annual meeting and biennial conference at Bangkok's Shangri-la Hotel from today.
Chuchai said the commission would propose the draft law to the APF meeting in a bid to push the government to support the law.
Sexual Diversity Network representative Pongsathorn Chanreun said it would join the NHRC in pushing for the law to be passed, to give homosexual people access to social and human security rights such as heritage, childcare, insurance and medical care benefits, as they were basic rights all should have.
