Burmese same-sex couple seeks marriage in Thailand
Nyan and Mae, a Burmese same-sex couple, got married symbolically at a Pride parade in Chiang Mai, Thailand, as same-sex marriage legislation in Thailand is expected to be finalized later this year. Same-sex relations are illegal in Myanmar, and the conflict between the military and resistance forces has caused displacement. The couple sees their marriage in Thailand as an act of revolution and a symbol of acceptance.
