"Greece Makes History with Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage"
TL;DR
Greece becomes the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex civil marriage, with the bill also granting adoption rights to same-sex couples. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis hailed the move as a milestone for human rights, while acknowledging that it doesn't address all issues. The legislation received cross-party support but faced opposition from far-right parties, the Communist Party, and the Orthodox Church, sparking both celebrations and protests outside parliament.
