"Greece's Historic Shift: Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage Despite Opposition"
TL;DR
Over 1,500 protesters gathered in Athens to oppose a bill legalizing same-sex marriage in Greece, sponsored by the conservative government but requiring support from opposition parties. Religious groups organized the rally, expressing concerns about the bill's impact on traditional family values. The far-right Niki party leader criticized the "woke agenda" and emphasized Greece's Christian Orthodox tradition. If approved, Greece would be the first majority Orthodox country to legalize same-sex marriage.
