TL;DR

Greece has become the first Christian Orthodox-majority country to legalize same-sex marriage, with same-sex couples now allowed to adopt children following a 176-76 vote in parliament. The move, championed by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has sparked division in the country, with the Greek Orthodox Church leading resistance. The bill's passing required support from opposition parties, and has been hailed as a historic moment by LGBTQ organizations, marking a significant step forward for marriage equality in the region.
