Oh, the pain of this scene and the reality behind it, the difference between boyfriend and husband, between sharing a life together and being able to legally bind yourselves together. The agony of knowing that you are literally everything he has and that it is not enough to let you help him.
This is why we need legalized marriage for everyone, this is why the legalities matter, this is why we fight for what we can because it matters in the end, it matters so, so much.
Piseang can do nothing because there is nothing legally tying them together and there is nothing to do. He cannot fight this. He cannot love Kawi enough to overcome this.
Love is not enough. Love does not give him the rights he does not have, does not cut through red tape, does not open doors. Love may light his life and love may be beautiful and love may move mountains but love cannot make the choices he needs to make.
Love cannot make a medical decision or give him permission to stay with Kawi. Love cannot open the doors or let him sign the paperwork. Love cannot do anything. Love is not enough. The freedom to love is not enough.

I am sensing...a pattern (pun intended)
Is this the new gay dress code?
Not you too, Trin? (thanks for the heads up @respectthepetty!)
I mean, did the Thai tv series industry buy these shirts in bulk?
Hey!
And will a fourth colour variation appear next, I wonder?
Edited to add - not another colour variant...but a reappearance of the charcoal stripes
AND the parents are now getting in on the act:
Who will wear it next?
Edit: Look, I didn't think this one would pop up again...but it did. And on Top of all people. Not so Top Tier now are we?
Yes, Top, yes I do...

This is like the first time I've seen someone who knows their phone's battery is crap actually carry a charger around. And for the one on the other end of the dropped call to be like "here we go again smh" instead of jumping to conclusions?? I wasn't expecting such realism from a show where the time machine is a resin art music box

There are no other channels out there fighting the fight and bringing activism to people the way GMMTV does. No one. Absolutely no one. From the fight itself to the people affected to the ways and the reasons to celebrate and to fight and the people that matter both big and small.
(Also, anyone else think the Thai Blind and Sexual Diversity section could be a nod to Last Twilight? Because I am eagerly anticipating that show if they've really consulted with people who are both blind and queer. That would be amazing.)
Max continues to be my tired queer hero. This boy. @absolutebl he is glorious, tired, fighting, queer and here to stay and he deserves a boyfriend, damnit. Max is the epitome of the phrase 'we're here, we're queer and we're goddamn exhausted of fighting for our right to exist but guess what that ain't gonna stop us.'
The amount that I love the message here and the freedom they offer the world and the reassurance that love is love and love is all that really matters in the end, that love is not right or wrong or to be judged but simply is, and always will be, love.
We get to see not just the story of people accepting their identities and their love and who and what matters to them but the bigger picture of the society around them and how it changes and does not change, how they fit society but also how some of them choose to make sure society makes space for them.
