Chinese Gay Couple Marries in Thailand Amidst Social Stigma

Chinese Gay Couple Marries in Thailand Amidst Social Stigma

Wang and Song, a couple from China, got married in Thailand because same-sex marriage isn't allowed in China.

They had to overcome some paperwork hurdles to get married.

Thailand is more welcoming, allowing them to have a real wedding and be open about their relationship.

They hope their wedding will inspire other gay Chinese couples.

Even though their marriage isn't recognized in China, it's a big deal to them.

They plan to return to China, but hope to retire in Thailand one day.

Their marriage celebrates love and the freedom to be who you are.
