Barang hipster marries his Khmer boyfriend...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

I bet the boys family are thrilled.

From the link:
Brigadier General Phanit said that on the day of marriage, the immigration police came to block the traditional practices. Without requiring the groom's protector, the Khmer contracted with the police. The sub-associate considers this an illegal marriage because in Cambodia there is no law allowing for marriage. In the same gender, the groom is also a foreigner.

I have the feeling the guy tries to hide his identity. The beard looks quite fake and then the shades...

They will be thrilled. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine they would be receiving a bride price when their son got married.

Since there's no point of getting married here if you're gay, it's not legal so it doesn't bring any benefits, I think he's part a gay group that tries to push marriage equality. They perform fake gay weddings all over the world to raise awareness and make the governments actively engage in this issue. I'm ok with that if that's the reason behind it but he should loose the fake beard and sunglasses.

Did they try to hold a gay wedding ceremony in the village without paying local cops the customary wedding "protection" fee, like that Finnish guy did last year?

Congratulations to the happy couple. If they're happy and their families are happy, well good for them. :banana:

As for the point of getting married, it's a social and financial contract. He's officially part of the family.
