      Oh, 2001… when my country was still a front-running progressive country…

      Danish politicians told the state church it was time to allow same sex marriage, but knowing there were some very „conservative“ religious fractions within the state church, it was up to the religious leaders when and how to implement it.

      Decades later the politicians gave up and legislated same sex marriage by law since the church apparantly could not or would not do it „voluntarily“.

      I remember when this legislation was going through parliament and the hysterical reaction it got from social conservatives. It’s always fun to go back and find the scare stories from the early 2010s about what it would mean for society.

      They certainly won’t allow it or anything remotely similar in my shithole country in at least next 5 years.

      2025 is late, but I am actually surprised that the Liechtenstein monarch accepted this at all.

      Czechia was close at one point weren’t they, but we did get civil unions I believe

    15. Mr_Black90 on

      This is a bit (unintentionally) misleading;

      Denmark was the first country in the world to allow same-sex civil unions in 1989, with 2012 being the point where the government forced the state church to create a standardized marriage ritual for same-sex couples.

      This is incorrect. The first gay couple in Denmark got ~married~ registered partnership 1989.

      Edit: registered partnerships, not marriage.

      Man…. I wish politicans in my country would stop caring and using queer people as political weapon… it’s really annoying and sad… 
      Like… people are just trying to live their own way, everyone is different ffs…

    19. redglol on

      Can’t believe this is still a thing. Why do people care? It’s not like they chose to be gay.

      The Netherlands was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2001 and decriminalized homosexuality in 1971… says A.I. which means…..

      If you had shown this to a 1960s Portuguese or Spaniard, people would call you mad. Not only because of the meaning of it, but also for displaying us on the lead.

      It’s easier for us to imagine technological transformations in sci-fi than social transformations.

      The world can still change. I hope it does.

    23. ILuvYou_YouAreSoGood on

      How many more years before we see the demographic shifts that result in same sex marriage being outlawed again in Europe?

    24. yezhnuzjhd on

      It’s funny how it’s almost exactly one country a year. Even when there’s a year without any country passing such laws then the following year there are two.

    25. War_Fries on

      Shame on those countries still not on the list (Italy, Poland, Hungary, other „family values“ countries).

      We were late into the party (2024) but, contrary to our neighbours from the west (Italy) and east (Turkiye), we at least joined it.

      Greece is more progressive than it is thought to be.

    27. Vevangui on

      I’m a traditional gal but how late gay marriage was made legal will forever puzzle me.

    29. Expensive_Jacket6966 on

      I am surprised by how early Spain was. Excuse my ignorance, but I always thought they were more religiously conservative

    30. herb0026 on

      I assume Liechtenstein is because it’s only just now a gay couple ever wanted to get married there
