 This article purposed to the philosophical explanation on the disagreement between Thai communities on the concept of the equality of a marriage in Thailand which were precepted between each group/part of the Thai community in the process of consideration on the Bill of Life Partnership Act. The methodology of this article followed the spirit of Postmodernism by using Jacques Rancière’s concepts; the wrong, the part, the perceptible, the police order, the political, and the disagreement, to interpret the discourses on the same-sex marriage, represented the disagreement perception/perceptible on the concept of spouse influencing the concept of the equality of marriage in each group. The result reveals 3 parts of the Thai community. The first part is the traditional/conservatism part which the equality of a marriage means the act of spouse. The second part is the supporters of the Bill of Life Partnership Act part which allows the meaning of the equality of marriage as the act of partner. The last part is the confrontation with the 2 later parts which they prefer to restore a new concept of the spouse to cover the perception of the equality of marriage for all sexual diversity.
