Greece becomes first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex marriage

On Thursday, Greece achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex civil marriage, overcoming opposition from the influential and socially conservative Greek Church.

A cross-party majority, consisting of 176 lawmakers out of the 300-seat parliament, voted late Thursday in favor of the groundbreaking bill presented by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ center-right government.

Despite the reform being rejected by 76 lawmakers, with two abstaining from the vote and 46 not present in the house, the bill successfully passed, the Associated Press reported.
