(UPDATE) BANGKOK — Scores of same-sex and transgender couples married in Thailand on Thursday as the Southeast Asian kingdom's marriage equality law went into effect, with two high-profile gay actors among the first to do so.
In matching beige suits, Apiwat "Porsch" Apiwatsayree, 49 — who was in tears — and Sappanyoo "Arm" Panatkool, 38, were handed their pink-bordered marriage certificates at a registry office in the capital Bangkok.
