Thailand’s Senate voted overwhelmingly for a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage, clearing the last legislative hurdle for the country to become the first in Southeast Asia to enact such a law.

India's Supreme Court is hearing arguments in the historic case this week, years after it decriminalized gay sex. India could become the second place in Asia to allow marriage equality, after Taiwan.

The law came about in response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, which called other landmark civil liberties cases into question.
