In a historic moment for Greece, a Greek novelist and his partner have become the first same-sex couple to be married in Athens' city hall following the recent legalization of same-sex marriage in the country. The civil wedding ceremony was officiated by the mayor of Athens and was attended by over two dozen guests.
The novelist, who writes under the pen name Auguste Corteau, expressed his joy at the event, calling it a dream that they never thought possible in their younger years. He emphasized the symbolism of their marriage, especially for individuals who grew up in Greece during a time when LGBTQ+ individuals faced significant challenges and discrimination.
