In a historic moment for human rights, Greece has become the 16th EU member state to legislate marriage equality, joining us in Luxembourg in championing the fundamental right to love.
For decades, the LGBTQ+ community in Greece has tirelessly campaigned for marriage equality in a socially conservative landscape. And now, the bill, passed by 176 lawmakers, grants same-sex couples the right to wed and adopt children, marking a historic shift in Greek society.
As Greece takes its place among the most progressive countries in the world, citizens are expressing pride in the nation’s evolution. This pride must serve as a testament to the transformative power of legislative change in shaping societal mindsets, even if it’s painfully slow; together we make progress happen, as best we can.
As we celebrate this victory, let it serve as a reminder of the importance of standing up for fundamental rights, speaking out against discrimination, and fostering a world where love knows no bounds. May Greece’s proud moment inspire other nations to embrace progress, understanding, and the universal right to love freely.
Bravo Greece.
Love is Love.
