The Greek parliament legalizes same-sex marriage and adoption. They voted on 15 January and received 176 votes in favour, 76 against and two abstentions. Parliament has been under pressure from the Orthodox Church. However, it is the first Christian Orthodox country to legalise same-sex marriage and 21 in Europe.

Although the civil association between same-sex couples was approved since 2015, dissident sexual genders did not have the same rights as heterosexuals. For example, the civil association granted legal protection to children only to the biological father. Thanks to the new law, both will be legal guardians of the child.

That is why Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that the law will avoid the legal inconsistencies that many families experience. It will also bring other benefits, such as “more tranquillity” and “reducing” the fear of losing child care.
