In an unprecedented move, Greece has become the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex civil marriage. This significant development comes as a major milestone for LGBTQ+ rights in the country, signifying a step forward in equal rights and inclusivity.
The decision was made on Wednesday, following a vote in the Greek parliament, where a majority of lawmakers voted in favor of the new legislation. Same-sex couples in Greece can now legally enter into civil partnerships, granting them the same legal rights and benefits as married heterosexual couples.
