Now that anyone in any place in the United States can marry regardless of sexual orientation, the question being asked is: which country will be next?
There are unfortunately a number of countries where same sex marriage will probably remain illegal even in our lifetime. Even a number of world economic powers and developed nations with fairly solid human rights records as of late won’t be legalizing same sex marriage anytime soon – Japan and South Korea come to mind.
However, there are quite a few countries that will legalize same sex marriage sooner than later. Here’s a look at the next 10 countries that could or will legalize same sex marriage soon. Some of the countries on this list allow same sex marriage at the state level, and others have recently passed laws to legalize same sex marriage nationwide – the laws have simply not been implemented yet.
10. Thailand
The idea of same sex marriage in Thailand has been considered for quite a while. Unfortunately, the frequent coups seem to hinder the progression of same sex marriage laws in Thailand. Thailand has perhaps the most accommodating LGBT rights in all of Asia, and destination weddings for same sex tourists from other countries are quite popular.
Last year, a same-sex-marriage bill in the Thai parliament had bipartisan support, but it was stalled because of the coup. Later in 2014, there were reports that a draft bill called the Civil Partnership Act, would be submitted to the Junta-appointed Thai Parliament. This bill was expected to give couples some of the rights of heterosexual marriages.
