Greece Poised to Legalize Same-Sex Marriage Amidst Church Opposition

The Greek parliament is set to vote on a landmark bill that, if passed, would make Greece the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex marriage.

Greek lawmakers are expected to vote on a bill to legalize same-sex marriage, marking a significant step for LGBTQ+ rights in the country.
The bill has sparked controversy and opposition, particularly from the Greek Orthodox Church, which has led protests against the legislation.
If approved, the legislation would grant same-sex couples full parental rights but exclude male partners from seeking children through surrogacy in Greece.
Public opinion in Greece is narrowly supportive of the change, reflecting a shift towards greater acceptance of same-sex marriage.
The legislation represents a milestone for Greece, potentially making it the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex marriage.
