Greece legalised same-sex marriage, becoming first orthodox Christian country to do so.
Athens:
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday lauded parliament’s decision to legalise same-sex marriage and adoption, despite fierce opposition from the country’s powerful Orthodox Church.
“This is a milestone for human rights, reflecting today’s Greece — a progressive, and democratic country, passionately committed to European values,” Mitsotakis said on X, formerly Twitter.
