BANGKOK - The front runner to be Thailand’s next prime minister joined a Pride parade in Bangkok on Sunday, promising to pass a law that would allow same-sex marriage and gender identity rights if he becomes premier.

Marchers waved rainbow flags with one holding a placard that said “freedom to choose gender” and another that said “love is love” in rainbow colours. Political figures joining the parade included Mr Pita Limjaroenrat, leader of the progressive Move Forward party, which is pushing to lead a coalition after winning the most seats in a May 14 general election when voters made clear their hope of ending almost 10 years of rule by the military and military-backed governments.
