Can a spouse apply for DTV visa alongside a DTV visa holder in Thailand, especially considering LGBTQ+ marriage recognition?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Has anybody applied for DTV as a spouse of a DTV visa holder? My husband plans to get it first and then I want to get it as his spouse. We are thinking of making a sponsorship letter to cover my financial evidence. Has anybody applied with that? What does that letter have to look like? Also, to complicate things even more, we are a gay couple and I am not sure if Thailand will recognize foreign gay marriages immediately after January 23 (when their law is coming in force). Any thoughts appreciated!

I believe there are many things still left up in the air. It depends on how immigration laws are written and how soon they are updated.
