Overview

This review compares influences on divergent LGBTQ+ rights policies in Thailand and the Philippines, suggesting ideologically driven framing affects outcomes.

Key Points

  • This analysis aims to understand the differing trajectories of LGBTQ+ policy agendas in Thailand and the Philippines despite strong proposals.
  • Using a discursively reconfigured Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) for policy review
  • Drawing insights from Thailand's Marriage Equality Law and the stalled SOGIESC Equality Bill in the Philippines
  • Thailand's agenda advanced due to a permissive ideological environment and technocratic framing with minimal public backlash.
  • The Philippines faces legislative hurdles due to a moral discourse influenced by religion preventing policy 'coupling'.
  • Success depends on adaptable framing that aligns with local ideological conditions.
